WHY YOU SHOULD COVER WATER & MOLD DAMAGE - Balance

Written by Balance Claims | Nov 18, 2020 6:07:53 AM

Not only does spring and summer bring the dangers of hail and hurricanes, but severe weather also causes the most tornados in the world, right here in the USA.. This spring already has witnessed the deadliest tornado activity in nearly a decade. In April alone, 14 severe tornadoes were recorded. The impact cost dozens of lives and billions of dollars in damage and insured losses. 

Contractors that are unable to work hail storms and tornados should consider expanding their services to include fire, water, and mold restoration as a way to offset a decrease in weather-related claims. If your claims department isn’t able to file claims for these services, Balance can. Balance helps you by writing the mitigation bid as well as the rebuild and working with you throughout the whole claim process. 

Here’s a few statistics to change your mind:

  1. 14,000 people in the U.S. experience a water damage emergency at home or work each day. 
  2. 98% of basements in the U.S. will experience some type of water damage during their lifetime. 
  3. The annual cost to insurance companies from water damage and mold in the U.S. is $2.5 billion
