Get the Insurance Settlement You Deserve
Going through the experience of flooding can often be traumatic, and property owners may be inclined to simply accept whatever the insurance carrier offers. We understand that people are often not up for a fight, and may not even be aware of what there is to fight about.
Damage Caused by Flooding
There are several types of damage that require financial compensation to make right, including the following:
- Flooding can lead to damage to personal belongings and possessions. Furniture, electronics, and other valuables can be ruined by water damage, and many items may need to be replaced entirely. Even if items appear to be dry, they may have hidden damage that will make them unsafe to use or compromise their functionality.
- Water damage can weaken building materials, causing them to decay and eventually collapse.
- Water can seep into electrical systems and create fire hazards.
- Flooding puts an enormous amount of pressure on the foundation and underpinnings. Even if the structure appears to be intact after a flood, it may have hidden damage that can compromise its overall stability and safety.
- Mold growth is another significant issue that can arise from flooding. When excess moisture is present in a property, it creates the perfect environment for mold to grow and spread. Mold can cause respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and other health issues for people living or working on the property. Removing mold can also be a very expensive and time-consuming process.
Repairing flood damage can be an expensive process, often requiring extensive repairs and rebuilding efforts. The New York City water damage attorneys at Sutton & Smyth, LLP will work for the compensation you deserve.
