Documenting a Water Leak for Your Insurer
Insurers differ, but documentation helps every claim.
Keep these
- Dated photos and videos of damage
- Meter readings before and after
- The leak detection report with the marked location
- Repair invoices and receipts
Ask your insurer
Whether the pipe itself is covered, whether resulting damage is covered, and what time limits apply. Our emergency steps will help limit the damage first.
