Burst pipe insurance claim problems are only such when they are not handled promptly. These problems are common and can be most devastating. They are significant in that they cause considerable damage to property and can result in many health risks to the homeowner/businessowner due to the

development of mold when not taken care of properly. Pipes burst mostly as a result of freezing and sometimes from simple wear and tear. Insurance will cover frozen pipes, burst pipe damage and all the resulting damage but only if you do what is necessary to not have contributed to the damage and alleviate the problem once it occurs. For example if a pipe burst as a result of it being frozen the first question that will be asked by your insurance carrier is if you had the heat turned on. Some homes especially vacation homes not always occupied during winter months are often left without heat. If this is the case your homeowners policy will not cover the subsequent damage caused by the burst pipe. You will have to produce heating bills to show that heat was on during the time of the incident. Another condition that must be met is upon discovering a frozen or burst pipe you must take immediate action to correct the problem reducing the amount of damage to your property. A simple thing is promptly turning off the water supply and arranging for the necessary repair.
