One of the biggest questions after a flood or leak is: “Will my insurance cover this?” The answer depends on your policy and the type of water damage. Here’s what homeowners in NJ should know.
Water Damage Usually Covered
Most homeowners’ insurance covers sudden and accidental water damage – like burst pipes, broken appliances, or accidental leaks.
H2: Flood Damage Often Not Covered
Natural disasters such as heavy rain, hurricanes, or storm floods are usually excluded. For these cases, you need a separate flood insurance policy (NFIP).
Why Documentation Matters
Insurance adjusters require photos, videos, and detailed reports. That’s why our team provides complete documentation and works directly with insurers.
Extra Services That Help
Add-ons like carpet and couch cleaning are sometimes covered if tied to the claim. Ask your adjuster and let us handle the process.
Conclusion
Insurance coverage can be tricky, but you don’t need to face it alone. At Q Flood Recovery, we specialize in insurance support, helping NJ homeowners get claims approved faster.
