Water damage that occurs within a building can be costly and time consuming to repair. While a rise in dramatic weather events have naturally impacted on flood claims, the number of insurance claims, due to ‘escape of water’ within the home, has also increased.
In water-damaged properties, there is no area of the home that is safe, ceilings, walls, flooring, electrics and anything in the path of the leak will be affected, with fine art, antiques, carpets, wooden floors particularly vulnerable.
