If you are currently dealing with a suspected underfloor leak insurance claim in Oranmore, Galway, then you understand how stressful it is to see your home’s flooring fail. At Claims Assist, we specialize in uncovering the hidden damage that insurance companies often overlook.
Professional Pipe Repair & Specialist Leak Detection
Recently, we managed a complex insurance case in a residential property in Oranmore. Unlike a sudden burst, this was a “slow-release” leak that had remained active for several weeks. Because the concrete subfloor absorbed the moisture, the issue only became evident when the hardwood flooring began to warp and “cup” across multiple rooms. Consequently, the bathroom floor tiles also started to crack and loosen.
Result: Full Underfloor Leak Insurance Claim Settlement
As shown in the photo, the damage required a specialist leak detector to pinpoint the exact failure point. Once the specialist repaired the leak, our role as your local Loss Assessor in Galway began. Furthermore, we ensured that every underfloor leak insurance claim we manage includes a full moisture mapping report to prove the extent of the dampness.
-
The Challenge: Initially, the insurance company’s assessment only covered a small “patch” repair of the pipe.
-
The Claims Assist Difference: However, we argued that since the moisture had been traveling for months, it structurally compromised the entire floor area.
Ultimately, we successfully negotiated a settlement that covered the claim in full. This included the specialist Trace and Access fees and professional dehumidification to dry out the subfloor. Therefore, the homeowner received a complete replacement of the hardwood flooring to ensure a uniform finish.
