Water Damage

Helping Property Owners Recover from Water Damage Losses

Water damage can cause serious destruction to homes, businesses, and personal property, leading to structural instability, mold growth, and financial losses. Whether caused by burst pipes, flooding, roof leaks, or negligent maintenance, dealing with the aftermath can be overwhelming. Insurance companies often delay or deny claims, making it difficult for victims to recover the compensation they need.

At Pyramid Legal, we fight for property owners affected by water damage, ensuring they receive full compensation for repairs, property replacement, and financial losses.

Understanding Water Damage Claims and Your Legal Rights

Water damage can weaken foundations, destroy electrical systems, and make homes unlivable. While many property owners assume insurance will cover their losses, insurers often try to reduce payouts, deny claims, or blame pre-existing conditions. If negligence or poor maintenance caused the damage, you may also have a claim against a landlord, contractor, or third party.

At Pyramid Legal, we help clients fight unfair insurance denials and hold negligent parties accountable for preventable water damage.

Common Causes of Water Damage

Water damage can result from natural disasters, faulty infrastructure, or property neglect, including:

  • Burst Pipes and Plumbing Failures
    Aging pipes, leaks, and poor plumbing maintenance can lead to severe flooding.

  • Roof Leaks and Structural Issues
    Weak roofing, clogged gutters, and foundation cracks allow water to enter homes and businesses.

  • Storms and Natural Disasters
    Heavy rains, hurricanes, and flash floods can cause extensive property damage.

  • Sewage Backup and Drainage Failures
    Clogged drains, septic system failures, or municipal sewage issues can create hazardous conditions.

  • Negligent Property Maintenance
    Landlords and property managers are responsible for preventing leaks and water hazards.

  • Appliance Malfunctions
    Defective washing machines, water heaters, and dishwashers can flood homes and businesses.

If water damage has impacted your property, Pyramid Legal is ready to fight for your financial recovery.

Types of Water Damage Claims

Water damage can cause long-term property damage and financial hardship. Common claims include:

  • Structural Damage
    Weakened walls, ceilings, foundations, and support beams.

  • Mold and Mildew Growth
    Toxic mold can develop quickly, causing serious health risks.

  • Loss of Personal Property
    Furniture, electronics, and valuables ruined by water exposure.

  • Business Interruption Losses
    Flooding and water damage can shut down operations, leading to lost revenue.

  • Insurance Disputes
    Delayed, underpaid, or denied claims from insurance companies.

If your insurance company is refusing to pay or is undervaluing your water damage claim, Pyramid Legal can help.
