Some common water damage and property damage scenarios in West Virginia:
Scenario No. 1: Heavy rains or melting snow has caused local creeks and major rivers to flood your neighborhood, and your home.
Are you covered? When water from a body of water finds its way into your home by natural causes, it is considered “FLOOD DAMAGE”. This kind of damage is only covered by flood insurance policies, and generally not under standard homeowners’ title insurance. While many areas are not readily recognized as being vulnerable to flooding, (they are outside mapped flood zones), purchasing flood insurance may be worth while. Learn more about flood insurance from other homeowners and news features on our blog, KingDryInc.info.
Scenario No. 2: Either your dishwasher has broke, flooding the kitchen, or your laundry machine has overflowed, flooding the laundry room and basement.
What should you do? Turn off water and electricity running through the impacted rooms, call for water damage professionals to assess the damage, provide an estimate, and remove water, cleanup wet belongings, and repair damages.
Are you covered? If a sudden accident is the cause of the burst or overflow, you are very likely covered. On the other hand, if either appliance was improperly maintained, insurance will only cover the consequential water damage and not the replacement parts.
Scenario No. 3: You’ve found mold growing in your basement, and mold spores are contaminating your household vents and air ducts.
Mold damage is covered if it results from a covered peril, such as a broken pipe, a storm, or fire suppression efforts, but not where it occurs gradually over time due to wear and tear. Water damage professionals can inspect and determine the source of the contamination, as well as remediate against it.

Scenario No. 4: Flash floods have left a trail of debris across your yard and mud in your home.
Most basic home insurance policies don’t cover the removal and cleanup or restoration following any type of “flooding.” Be sure you understand the difference between categorizing “flood damage” and “water damage”, as this will impact any insurance claim.
