Broken Pipe

Changes in water pressure, often resulting from storm surges, flooding, or physical damage, can lead to leaks or breaks in both new and old water pipes, potentially causing significant damage to your property.

Small leaks may go unnoticed for extended periods, leading to the deterioration of surrounding structures. In contrast, some broken pipes can fail suddenly, visibly damaging furniture, appliances, carpets, rugs, and personal belongings.

Several factors can lead to leaks or bursts in pipes within homes or businesses, resulting in significant flooding and damage. The most common causes of broken pipes include:

The water damage from broken pipes can vary greatly from one home or business to another, leading to unique repair costs and damage to possessions.

Regardless of how the pipes were damaged, the resulting consequences can be both catastrophic and costly.

The financial impact of broken pipes is influenced by:

• Location of the broken pipe: Accessibility can affect repair costs, whether it’s in a crawl space, behind a wall, or buried underground.
• Structural damage: The extent of damage caused by the water.
• Damaged possessions: Items that are ruined or destroyed due to the water.
• Professional cleanup costs: Expenses related to restoring your property.

If you’ve experienced water damage due to broken pipes, it may feel as if the situation cannot get worse—until you contact your insurance company. You paid for coverage and reassurance, trusting they would support you, only to receive a frustrating runaround.
