Commercial Water Damage Claims

Water damage can wreak havoc on your commercial property and business operations. Plumbing leaks behind walls, under a foundation or from failed equipment such as hot water heaters can cause extensive damage to a building and its inventory.  Commercial insurance providers often use any policy provision they can find to avoid paying for water damage. If you purchased a commercial insurance policy to protect your property from damage, including plumbing breaks and other water damage, you expect your insurance company to come through for you. Making that happen, however, may require the assistance of a qualified water damage attorney.

Recovering from Commercial Water Damage

When your property is affected by a water incident, it often permeates every part of your business, including:

• Floor damage
• Wall damage
• Mold
• Electrical damage
• Loss of business personal property and inventory
• Business interruption

If your water damage claim is delayed, denied, or undervalued, your business could suffer extensive repair costs and lost inventory, damage from a loss of reputation, lost profits, and financial hardship. Excessive delay, gross undervaluation, or denial of a claim covered by your policy could constitute insurance bad faith.
