Events other than those listed above are not considered water damage by insurance companies, so take caution when starting a claim.

Because of our many years of experience, we are able to analyze the situation and find specific details that would support starting a claim.

During our preliminary discussion with clients, we generally ask for a complete description of the situation. We will then be able to figure out what happened and how it happened.

Call Molina & Rangel Associates today for claims assistance for home water damage.
During our talk with clients, we usually ask about a complete description of the situation. And during those talks, we begin to figure out how the event happened and we infer the causes. When you engage in the conversation with us, you probably will provide us more information than you though before; and this is because with our skills and experience, we already know some common factors in water damage events. For example, many insurance policies do not mention anything about water sprinkles or fire emergency systems as causes of water damage; but they should! They spread water; anyway…they can be broken any time and produce water damage. Then suppose that you just had damages at home derived from a broken fire emergency system and you just merely read your policy without the assistance of us, and you found anything about coverage from broken fire emergency system, then you would never claim that damage.

We Walk With You to Start the Claim for Water Damage
If you have recently become a victim of home water damage, there are some tips that are important to follow. Although we are here to assist you through the entire process, we provide these tips because we believe it is important for you to have some knowledge before starting a claim. Read on to find our best tips for clients experiencing water damage:
- Contract a professional to fix the damages immediately. Be sure they provide you with a receipt for the services.
- The contractor must provide you with a written explanation of the work carried out.
- You are responsible for the work performed by the contractor, so you must retain any damaged materials/goods in order to demonstrate future claims.
- If the damage/repairs are covered by your policy, they will reimburse you for the agreed amount less any policy excess.
There are two possible reasons you might need a fast result for your claim. If you have not started restoration on your home for water damage and you need money quickly to get back to normal life, you need a fast claim. If you have already contracted a professional to carry out repairs and owe them money, you may also need a claim processed quickly. In both of these situations, Molina & Rangel Associates is here to help you move quickly through the insurance claims process from start to finish.
There are some situations in which insurance companies will refuse to pay you. Below we have listed some common reasons that our clients’ insurance companies have denied them compensation.

- Your home was unfurnished or unoccupied for more than 30 consecutive days.
- Damage is done to any fixed domestic water installation, heating installation or appliance from which the water escapes.
- Damage is done to tiles, walls, floors and ceilings caused by the gradual leakage or seepage of water from all fixed sanitary ware units including baths and shower units.
