Flooded Basement Problems and Water Claim Questions

There have been a lot of questions on what insurance companies cover and policy limitations on flooded basement.  Several calls have been recieved from the Grand Rapids, Saginaw, Bay City areas in regards to water damge in their basements.  Most home insurance policies have endorsements that limit the amount of recovery due to water backup.  When the damage occurs from a broken pipe, the actual dwelling limit on the policy is in full affect.  You should always contact your agent to be aware of the policy language and limitations on your policy.

Claims Help for Fire and Water Victims in Northern Michigan

Help for fire and water claims victims in Norther Michigan will be easier with a possible branch office in the Gaylord or Grayling area this coming summer.  There has been a tremendous need for Public and Private Adjusters by insureds requesting estimates and help after their losses.  I would like to thank Dave Sears in Gaylord for helping James Davis who suffered a fire and was not insured outside of Grayling. Dave provided shelter and money to the family.
