Purchasing a water-damaged house can be a good investment, but it requires careful consideration. First, gauge how bad the damage is and how much it's going to cost to fix. Get a professional home inspection—and not just a run-of-the-mill one. Have the inspector really dig into the house's structure. Ask about everything that might go wrong, especially with the reliability of the systems that are vital to the house's health: electric, plumbing, and HVAC (the functions of the house that keep it livable and safe). If there's been extensive water damage, or if the house has been sitting in the wettest part of the year for too long, the inspector should be checking for mold and asking if you're ready to negotiate.

Generally speaking, homeowners insurance may cover water damage if it is sudden and accidental—like from a burst pipe or an appliance that fails. But it usually does not cover damage resulting from neglect or insufficient maintenance. Nor does it cover flooding that comes from external sources, such as heavy rainfall or natural disasters—those who live in flood-prone areas often purchase separate flood insurance for such events. Overall, it's best for homeowners to have a good understanding of their individual policy.

In Liberty Lake, the speed at which we can rectify water damage depends on various elements. How extensive is the damage? What area has been affected? And what type of methods do we need to use to remediate the situation? Generally, we might resolve minor water damage in as little as a few days to a week, but anything more serious might well take us into the several weeks zone to rectify. The speed at which things get back to normal also hinges on how quickly we can dry out everything, make repairs, and deal with any mold that might have a chance to start to grow.

In Liberty Lake, as in many places across the United States, the standard homeowners insurance policy does not cover water damage from flooding.A flood insurance policy is generally required to cover flooding. Damage from floods may exceed the limits of a standard homeowners insurance policy. Flood insurance pays for the physical damage done to the house (the structure) and the contents inside.Also, unless extra coverage is bought, damage to water that comes from not maintaining plumbing in good shape, that comes from pipes that gradually leak, or that comes from sewers that back up will not be covered.

When you are working with a home insurance adjuster about water damage cleanup in Liberty Lake, you need to be careful not to make any statements that could be interpreted as you saying the damage was your fault or that you let something get out of control and cause the damage. Even if you are trying to be very honest and say what you can see and know by sticking to the kinds of facts that would make the average listener believe the damage was caused by something that wasn't under the homeowner's control, it can still come across as you saying the damage was just not preventable. And doing that could get you into some serious trouble.

A claim for water damage might be turned down for a number of reasons, and here are some of them: the damage arose from gradual deterioration, and hence was not sudden and so not covered; the policyholder neglected maintenance that resulted in the damage; the policyholder filed after the specified deadline; the policyholder did not immediately do anything to reduce the amount of damage that was done, which could be covered; the policyholder's type of water damage was not covered (flood damage, for example, usually isn't covered under policies that cover other types of water damage); or the claim was simply excluded for some other reason tied to the policy's terms and conditions. Reading the policy and understanding what it says is key.

You must pay a water damage deductible before your insurance will pay for repairs of water damage. The amount you must pay can vary depending on your insurance policy and provider.
