What To Do When Water Damage Happens?

Experiencing water damage can be highly stressful, especially during emergencies. Here's what you should do in the event of water damage:

Step 1: Identify the Source and Shut off the Water Supply: If your property is undergoing active flooding, it's advisable to immediately turn off your main water supply to prevent escalated flooding. However, ensure you can safely reach your main water line before attempting this. 


Step 2: Disconnect the Power Supply: To ensure safety during a flood, we recommend switching off your power to prevent potential electrocution risks. Even a minor leak, not exposed to any electrical wiring, could swiftly escalate into a major water damage situation. That's why RX Restoration advocates for the precaution of switching off your electricity.


Step 3: Contact a Reliable Water Damage Restoration Service: Your next crucial step should be calling a trustworthy water damage restoration service like RX Restoration. Available 24/7 for water damage cleanup emergencies, our team identifies the source, halts it, extracts any standing water, removes contents, and initiates the drying process to prevent further damage or mold growth. We also work closely with your insurance company, supplying them with all the necessary data and documentation required to ensure your claim is maximized.


Step 4: Safeguard Your Valuables (If Safe to Do So): If the situation allows, try to remove any easily portable valuables from the affected area. However, if there's a possibility of electrified water or if sewage is present, we strongly discourage attempting to retrieve any items for your own safety.

Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Water Damage?

Understanding your homeowner's insurance coverage for water damage is crucial in handling such emergencies. Many wonder, does homeowners insurance cover water damage? The answer depends on the source and nature of the damage.


When it comes to homeowner's insurance coverage for water damage, certain situations are usually covered:


  1. Sudden and Unexpected Events: These are incidents that occur without warning. Examples include a burst pipe or a malfunctioning appliance.
  2. Damage from Storms: Damage caused by unpredictable weather events like wind, hail, lightning, or frozen plumbing is typically covered as they are beyond a homeowner's control.
  3. Vandalism: If an individual intentionally floods your property, the water damage resulting from this malicious act is generally covered.
  4. Fire Extinguishing Efforts: If water damage occurs as a result of efforts to extinguish a fire in your home, it's typically covered.


However, there are certain circumstances where the homeowner's insurance may not cover water damage:


  1. Neglect or Poor Maintenance: Damages resulting from a lack of maintenance, such as ignoring a known leak, are unlikely to be covered.
  2. Floods: Natural disasters such as floods from overflowing rivers, heavy rain, or storm surges are not covered by standard homeowner's insurance. You would need a separate flood insurance policy for these occurrences.
  3. Sewer Backups: If water or sewage backs up through sewers or drains, coverage isn't usually provided under standard homeowners insurance unless you have a specific endorsement or additional policy for it.
  4. Ground Seepage: Water that seeps into your home from the ground typically isn't covered.


It's important to thoroughly review your homeowner's insurance policy to understand what types of water damage are covered and which ones require additional coverage.

What Are The Different Types of Water Damage?

Water damage comes in three forms, each with varying levels of risk and implications for the cleanup process. Some types carry viruses and bacteria, posing serious health risks. The IICRC, an internationally renowned body for the inspection, cleaning, and restoration industries, identifies these distinct types:

Category 1: Clean or "Sanitary" Water Damage: This category involves water that originates from a clean and sanitary source. It poses no substantial risk to human health if consumed or touched. Common sources include broken water supply lines, overflowing sinks or bathtubs, or rainwater. However, if left untreated, Category 1 water can escalate to Category 2 or 3 if it comes into contact with contaminants. 


Category 2: Grey Water: Grey water contains a moderate level of contamination and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested or exposed to the skin. Sources of Category 2 water damage include discharge from appliances like washing machines or dishwashers, sump pump failures, or water from minor toilet overflows (with no fecal matter). Proper handling and cleanup are essential to prevent health risks.


Category 3: Black Water: Black water is highly contaminated and poses significant health risks to humans and animals. It contains pathogenic, toxic, or other harmful agents and can cause severe illnesses or even death if ingested or exposed to the skin. Category 3 water damage typically comes from sewage backups, flooding from rivers or streams, toilet overflows with fecal matter, or standing water that has developed bacteria and mold. Cleanup and restoration of Category 3 water damage require specialized training and equipment.

  • What are the most common causes of water damage?

    There are several common causes:

    2. Appliance Malfunctions: Household appliances, such as washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, and water heaters, can fail and cause water leaks or floods. 
    3. Roof Leakage: Improperly maintained or damaged roofs can permit rainwater to infiltrate your home, causing water damage to ceilings and walls.
    4. Gutter Obstructions: Debris-clogged gutters and downspouts can cause rainwater to overflow and breach your home's foundation or walls.
    5. Foundation Flaws: Cracks or openings in your home's foundation can let groundwater in, leading to basement floods or structural harm.
    6. Intense Rainfall and Storms: Extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rainstorms and hurricanes, can generate flash floods and extensive water damage.
    7. Sewer Backflows: Backflows from sewer or septic systems can emit contaminated water into your property, posing health threats and causing damage.
    8. Drain Blockages: Blocked or slow-draining sinks, toilets, or showers can cause localized water damage in bathrooms and kitchens.
    9. HVAC Complications: HVAC system issues can lead to water damage. Examples are blocked condensate lines or malfunctioning units.
    10. Natural Catastrophes: Natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes can cause extensive and severe water damage to residences and properties.
    11. Frozen Pipes: In chillier climates, water in pipes can freeze and expand, causing the pipes to burst. This results in water damage as the pipes thaw.
