General Labourer - Niagara, ON - Indeed.com disaster restoration

Let's talk about content!
Firstly, if you are a tenant or you have a tenant, tenants contents must be under a renters policy. If you have a rental and your tenants have no renters insurance who's going to move all their belongings if you have a flood? We as your insurance contractor are not allowed to touch tenants belongings. Please double check that your tenants have (and still have) tenants insurance.
Now if it's your own home and you have a lot of belongings, if all those belongings are in an affected area and need to be moved... The time required to move said contents will add up and start chipping away quickly if you have a low limit, like on that ground water claim with only a $10K limit we last discussed.
All things to consider, have a look around your home and if you think you may have a lot of content and not enough coverage to feel comfortable with... Talk with your broker or agent.

We're here to help!

During this past rain storm disaster at the beginning of the year we discovered so many of our clients do not have sufficient water coverage (16c) and there's not enough money to go around at the end of the day after emergency services have been completed. If you have a ground water claim (which is not the same coverage as a water claim from a burst pipe) and you only have 10K limit on your 16c coverage you'll probably end up out of pocket quite a bit of money when it comes to doing the repairs after the emergency cleanup is done. There is a lot involved in an emergency drying project, if you have a finished basement, a $10k limit policy for ground water will not likely be sufficient to pay for everything (you also probably have a 2K deductible coming out of that $10k as well). Speak with your agent or broker about ground water coverage and seepage coverage, discuss what a realistic limit should be based on your finishes so you know you'll be protected sufficiently.
We're here for you!

Identify and remove ice dams before they become a problem. Your insurance policy may or may not cover damage due to ice damming and you may not even know what it is.

How do you spot Ice Dam damage?
On the face of it, you may think it’s pretty easy to spot an ice dam on a home. After all, it’s hard to miss a gigantic chunk of ice sitting at the edge of a roof. But uncovering the damage caused by those ice dams is a little trickier. Most of the time the damage is unseen unless the ice dam has gotten to the point of causing leaks in the home. Even then, while you can easily pinpoint where the leak is, you can’t always tell where the water is coming from.

Ice Dam Damage
Ice dam damage comes in many forms. It’s much more extensive than just the excessive weight that ice puts on the roof. The most common forms of damage from ice dams on homes include:

Water Damage
Water is arguably the biggest threat to homes that have ice dams. As ice backs up under the roof and comes in contact with warm air from the inside of the house and it melts. The resulting water can cause damage to ceilings, walls, floors, and insulation. Serious water damage can lead to buckled floors, collapsed ceilings, and weakened walls.

Mold
Water that sits for extended periods of time can cause mold. In some cases, it may lead to Black Mold, which is a more dangerous type of mold that is difficult to get rid of.

Roof Damage
As ice backs up under the shingles, they can get damaged or even torn off. Ice dam removal on a Boston roof is necessary before the resulting water exposure affects the structural integrity of the roof. If serious, the homeowner may need a roof replacement.

Gutter Damage
Ice dams are notorious for causing gutters to rip right off the house. Even if they manage to stay in place, gutters often get warped and bent out of shape from supporting ice dams all winter.

Exterior Damage
Soffits, fascia, eaves, and even siding can all suffer water damage before ice dam removal has been performed. If gutters have been torn off, you may have damaged wood to repair. If the gutters stayed on, but held ice dams, the moisture could have weakened or eaten through any wood behind the gutter.

Another great restoration by Travis and the crews! This one was a doozy! You might think "it's just a kitchen fire" but fire & smoke damage go through the entire home, they are huge long term projects and I'm sure by the time the entire process is complete everyone is exhausted... but happy with the final result ☺️☺️
