About these water damage cost & insurance guides
Two questions arrive within the first hour of almost every loss: what is this going to cost, and will insurance pay for it. These guides answer both as honestly as the subject allows.
On cost, there is no single number, and any company quoting one over the phone is guessing. What actually moves the figure is the water category, how far it spread, how long it sat before extraction started, and whether the job stops at drying or continues through reconstruction. The guides here set out those variables so an estimate can be read rather than simply accepted.
On insurance, California policies turn on two words — sudden and accidental. A supply line that bursts is usually covered; a slow leak that ran for months usually is not, and storm water entering from outside commonly sits with flood cover rather than a homeowners policy. Several of these guides deal with the documentation that decides which side of that line a claim falls on.
