Many home and business owners in Central Florida question what their insurance companies cover when it comes to water damage and floods.
Whatever is causing the water damage, it is crucial to find the source and have it repaired as soon as possible.
Typically a flood involves water rising from an external source such as, heavy rains or an overflowing river. Usually this would fall under flood insurance coverage.
Water damage usually involves water intruding into your home before it touches the outside ground. Always remember the is a very fine distinction between water damage and a flood.

Thermography is the process of using an infrared imaging camera to ‘measure’ and ‘see’ the thermal energy an objects emits. This infrared or thermal energy is not a visible light to people because its wavelength is too long. As long as the object has a temperature above absolute zero, it will emit heat. Scanning the inside of your home or business with an infrared camera can identify a structural issue and reveal moisture leakage around plumbing systems. The moisture will appear darker than the surrounding warmer and drier areas.
