Damage caused by water can strike unexpectedly. Sudden and accidental leaks may cause severe water damage to your property and your belongings. Among the most common causes behind this type of damage are broken pipes, pipe bursts, slab leaks, heater line breaks, overflowing shower, overflowing toilet, overflowing sink, toilet leaks, blockage in your plumbing system, sewage backups, and appliance malfunction such as broken washing machines, air-conditioner leaks, and dishwashers leaks.

When you have a burst pipe, water will spread from floor to floor; so, there may be additional damage even when you cannot see it. It may include—but is not limited to—several stories in the same building or house, more than one room, walls, roofs, and floors. Another damage associated with water is the spread of mold and mildew. If left unattended, this type of damage may result in negative impacts to your health and in very expensive repairs to your property.

• Our first advice is for you to safeguard yourself. Do not attempt to do anything that may put you or your family at risk. It doesn’t matter how mild your property’s water damage appear to be, always take extreme caution when entering an affected house or room.  
  
  
• Where possible, try to mitigate the damage. For example, shutting off the water and removing any carpeting and padding that has the potential for mold growth. (Remember that, as the insured, it is your obligation to mitigate further damages to your property). 
  
  
• Take Pictures, as many as you can. Document everything, even details that may seem irrelevant. A varied and accurate documentation of the damages to your property will help our experts to represent your claim with your insurance company. 
  
  
• Make notes of the time, date, and visible damage to the structure and any of your belongings.
  
  
• If, due to damage, your property becomes unlivable and you have to make additional expenses such as accommodations, food, hotels, etc., we recommend that you keep all receipts for these expenses.
