Water heater leak destroys expensive cherry floor

Water can cause a lot of damage in a short amount of time

​A hot water heater leaked and destroyed this beautiful Brazilian Cherry hardwood floor.  The initial inspection from the insurance company said it was engineered wood which is much less expensive than real hard wood.  Also missing from the estimate was the fact that the flooring runs beneath some of the kitchen cabinets creating a much larger job and certainly more expensive as the lower cabinets had to be removed to replace the floor properly.  Assurance Claim Services hired an independent flooring company to grade and price the floor properly and we wrote a proper estimate to include removing the cabinets required to replace the floor.  The homeowner was indemnified properly in the end and Assurance Claim Services had another satisfied customer.  Call us today if you have property damage and an open or potential claim.  Our inspections and policy coverage reviews are complimentary.
