Burst Hot Water Heather Flooded House
I was hoping for some feedback. I have a water heater that leaked while my tenant was at work. It is located on the second floor and damaged the hardwood floors throughout, drywall, and probably baseboards. I currently have a water mitigation team out there that will take 3 days to dry out the place.
Does anyone know if this is normally covered in a policy? I agreed to put the tenant in a hotel for 3 days while they dry out the place. Can I terminate the lease if the repair is long term? A friend who does hardwood floors says they are most likely shot because the hardwoods are glued to concrete and there's a good chance they are ruined.
I have a DP3 policy and can't seem to be able to get any answers from the insurance company or agent... I have $150,000 in dwelling coverage, $5,000 in contents, and $32,000 in rent loss.
Any thoughts or feedback?
