When you own a condominium, other residents in your building and things that happen inside their units can sometimes cause water damage to your unit. It’s worth having your agent at C & H Insurance Associates LLC in Hilton Head, SC, check that you have adequate coverage. Here are a few scenarios worth considering.<\/p>\n

Bathtub Overflow<\/h2>\n

All it takes is forgetting that a bathtub is filling and letting it overflow onto the floor. Units below may experience water coming through ceiling cracks or light fixtures.<\/p>\n

Leaky Water Heater Tank<\/h2>\n

A water heater that develops a slow leak can cause gradual damage if it goes unnoticed for a while. A steady drip over time can lead to mold, mildew, and water damage in the units below.<\/p>\n

Broken Water Pipe<\/h2>\n

A broken pipe inside a wall can fill the space between units with water, often causing it to flow across the floor and soak the carpet below.<\/p>\n

Backed-Up Drain<\/h2>\n

Kitchen drains are notorious for clogging due to the buildup of grease and food particles.<\/p>\n

Clogged Toilet<\/h2>\n

When a toilet becomes clogged, flushing it can cause an overflow, resulting in a fair amount of water leaking out.<\/p>\n

Storm Water<\/h2>\n

Condominium complexes near the coast can flood during a storm. Broken windows can let water into the building, where it may cascade down through multiple units below.<\/p>\n

Firefighting<\/h2>\n

Water used to extinguish a fire can also cause significant water damage of its own.<\/p>\n

Best to Be Prepared<\/h2>\n

These are just a few scenarios worth discussing with your agent to better understand what protection your condo insurance policy actually provides.<\/p>\n
