Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to assess the damage from flooding an apartment, office or any other property. Follow simple advice and you will never be at a loss and will be able to return the money spent on repairing damaged property.
Instructions
Step 1
Understand the true causes of flooding. It can be you yourself, and possibly your unscrupulous neighbors. Malfunctioning pipes, improper connection of household appliances - all this can harm you as much as you yourself do not expect.
Step 2
Don't worry and never get into a squabble with the culprit - it will not lead to anything good. And being overly aggressive can make your situation worse. Only act calmly and purposefully.
Step 3
Under no circumstances should you make any repairs during the damage assessment period, as traces of flooding are visible after drying. This will take approximately 2-4 weeks.
Step 4
Benefit from independent expertise. Only this method is more effective in the fight against compensation for the damage caused to you. Thanks to this, you will be able to claim with full confidence the full amount for which the losses were incurred.
Step 5
In such cases, first of all, flooding acts are drawn up with a detailed description of the flooding place, time, water temperature, since the damage from hot water, as a rule, is much greater than from cold water. Observe all the formalities, do not miss the slightest detail. Keep all receipts and receipts for expert services you paid for.
Step 6
Damage from flooding is assessed in several stages. Starting from a simple inspection, ending with a report on the full cost of the damage caused. Be present at all stages of the assessment in person to be sure of the integrity of the examination. If you disagree with something, be sure to express your opinion.
Step 7
To fully compensate for the damage, you just need to have the following documents on hand: an inspection report, photographs of the main traces of flooding, an estimate for repair and restoration work, a detailed conclusion about the condition of your property, an expert opinion on the cost of restoration work.
