We experience four seasons in NJ, leaving us susceptible to weather that can cause flooded homes and buildings. Winter often brings freezing temperatures which can cause pipes to burst, leaving houses, apartments, condos, and commercial buildings filled with water. Late summer and fall in New Jersey is also hurricane season, which can bring large amounts of rain in short periods of time leading to flooded basements or flooded first floors. Springtime rains may lead to roof leaks due to undetected roof maintenance issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some interesting facts on water damage insurance claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1 in 60 insured homes<\/strong>&nbsp;filed a&nbsp;<strong>water damage claim<\/strong>&nbsp;from 2016 to 2020&nbsp;[4]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nearly 20% of home insurance claims<\/strong>&nbsp;were attributed to&nbsp;<strong>water damage and freezing<\/strong>&nbsp;in 2020&nbsp;[5]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>$11,650&nbsp;<\/strong>was the&nbsp;<strong>average water damage claim payout<\/strong>&nbsp;from 2016 to 2020&nbsp;[6]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>43%&nbsp;<\/strong>of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.policygenius.com\/homeowners-insurance\/home-insurance-literacy-survey-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>people mistakenly think<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;home insurance covers&nbsp;<strong>flood damage<\/strong>&nbsp;[7]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1.61% of insured homes<\/strong>&nbsp;experienced&nbsp;<strong>water damage<\/strong>&nbsp;from 2016 to 2020&nbsp;[8]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>53% of non-weather water damage claims<\/strong>\u00a0are related to\u00a0<strong>plumbing<\/strong>\u00a0issues\u00a0[9]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: https:\/\/www.policygenius.com\/homeowners-insurance\/water-damage-statistics\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the event that you experience water damage in your residence or office building, PuroClean of Rahway is here to provide you with 24\/7 property emergency services such as flood cleanup, water extraction, drying, dehumidification, and decontamination.
