Water can be surprisingly destructive, whether the source is a burst pipe, freak weather conditions or an undetectable damp spot, there are an array of ways that this liquid can damage your property. Things really get tricky when it comes to dealing with such incidents, as insurance companies are often reluctant to assist, even if the occurrence in question was not your fault. Let All Property Claims take you through the process of identifying and rectifying water damaged flooring, with different surfaces, stakeholders and incident types all accounted for.
Context And Cause
Identifying the context and cause of flooring water damage will always be the first step for professionals at All Property Claims, with our trusted surveyors committed to identifying and reporting on incidents in an accurate manner. Taking photos, measurements and various other details of what happened and when, a report can be formulated which informs insurers of the incident.
From routine leaking pipes which have ruined the condition of laminate flooring, to bathroom tiles which have declined due to a faulty appliance, we address client concerns and find a satisfactory solution.
Varied Surfaces
The accumulation of water upon many surfaces will outright ruin the concerned material, giving it a worn appearance, stained exterior or even uprooting it altogether, making it uneven, warped or dangerous. Of course, the last thing you will likely want in the wake of this incident is mismatched flooring, so If your floor has been damaged by water we will ask insurers to always replace it with an equal quality material – showing samples and getting approval before putting down the newer surface.
Once costs are agreed by insurers, within 48 hours the restoration contractor will carry out work, so you won’t be left waiting on new flooring for your home.
