Customers constantly contact us about their slab leak. One of their first questions are, is my slab leak covered by my homeowners insurance? Often, it is covered. One main componant that determines coverage is water damage. Water damage can be as simple as water showing up on the floor. Even if you can wipe up the water with a towel, it can still be considered damage. Because, if you don't wipe the water off the floor the puddle will continue to get larger and eventually reach the walls, cabinets, etc. Some of the damage may not ever be apparent till after the repair process has begun. So, if you are ever faced with filing a claim for a slab leak. The best answer to have when the insurance adjuster asks you if you have any water damage is YES! If you don't see any water and the adjuster asks you this question, the best answer is you are not sure and you would like a professional opinion.
