Contact us https://ejoneslaw.com/attorney-ellare... or call (404)-800-4524. {Transcript} Water Damage is one of the most common causes of property insurance claims. There are many types of water damage that may be covered or excluded on your homeowner’s or commercial insurance policy such as: • Sudden or accidental discharge • Sewer backup or water backup • Overflow • Flood • Or storm-related water damage Whether these types of water damage are covered depends on the source of the damage, the type of policy you have and if the water damage is sudden and accidental or gradual. Gradual, long-term seepage of water is not usually covered, so although your policy might have water damage coverage, if the reason for the damage is not sudden and accidental, then you may be denied in a claim. Some examples of gradual damage are: • Plumbing, faucets or pipes leaking causes damage to the walls, ceilings or floors • Water damage caused by seepage coming in from cracks in the foundation, or at the exterior of the property allowing water to enter the building • Flashing, tiles, shingle or deteriorating parts on the roof that indicate signs of wear and tear • Mold, rot or corrosion If you are unsure whether your water damage claim may be covered, contact us at E.

PRACTICE AREAS Ellaretha is passionate about helping people through some of the most difficult experiences of their life, which is why she choose to focus her firm on insurance law and family law. These two practice areas are very personal to her. As a child of divorced parents, Ellaretha is well aware of how a divorce can impact not just the couple, but the children as well. She works hard to help parents navigate this difficult time, while insulating the children as much as possible. In addition, while Ellaretha was in law school, her father passed away. While he had planned ahead with life insurance, the insurance company refused to pay out the claim on a technicality. The pain and difficulty of both losing her father and having to fight with an insurance company at the same time helped to motivate her to learn all she could about this area of law.
