How to handle water damage to your business

Insurance coverage

Home and business property insurance policies cover some water damage losses, but not all of them.
 
What they cover: Most policies will cover losses caused by water that enters through holes in roofs, broken or leaky windows, leaky pipes, and faulty dishwashers and washing machines.
 
What they don't cover: Many will not cover loss caused by the back-up of water from plugged sewers and drains unless the policyholder has purchased extra coverage. They do not cover damage caused by floods, rising tides and rainwater, overflowed rivers, and other natural causes. Insurance available from the National Flood Insurance Program is necessary to cover these losses. 

In case of water damage

If you have a water damage loss, contact a restoration company as soon as possible, notify your insurance company, and work with them closely. By taking practical steps, you can prevent unnecessary damage and return to normal quickly.
