The Trouble With Bathroom Leaks
The bathroom is a sacred place of privacy and comfort, but this domain is also prone to the costliest of water damages. When you’re dealing with plumbing, pipes, and the overall nuts and bolts of water flow, a lot can go wrong. Water can be an unstoppable force that streams in the direction of areas with the least resistance. Areas that can become victim to this damp path are closets, bedrooms, hallways, kitchens and other bathrooms that share the same wall.
Bathroom leaks leave homeowners in disarray and it can cause a ripple effect that causes damage to other areas in the house. Bathroom cabinetry, walls & drywall, tile flooring & tile base, insulation, cabinets, and other interior finishes are usually the ones that get affected by water leaks which makes the price tag of damage continue to climb.
When the time comes to identify issues, you should hire a professional public adjuster. This pro will be able to properly identify the long list of bullet points: leak detection, replacement of plumbing systems, water extraction, dehumidification, structural drying and restoration & repairs. These action items are vast and complex. Your public adjuster would handle each with grace and an attention to detail that will check every box.
But how are these bathroom leaks caused? Toilets, faucets, supply lines, shower pans, shower heads, clogged drains, and even shower tubs are the sources for the endless drip. These are simply devices and devices all have faults, whether it be a faulty valve or just the average, wear, tear, clog or rust.
A licensed public adjuster will aid you in reviewing your policy’s coverage, limitations, exclusions and endorsements so that everything is fair and satisfying at the end of the day. Don’t let water leaks derail your life.
