sever damage to your home

Two problems:

1)
The two spellings of “change text” have to match – including case.

…
function change_text()

Use changeText in both places
or change_text in both places
not one of each.

2)
The closing brace on change_text is facing the wrong way.
use } instead of {

Fix those two and then it works.

In Firefox, there is an Error Console available under Tools on the Menu Bar.

Preventing Water Damage in the Basement

A wet basement can quickly develop into a complete disaster. Many maintenance systems are installed in the basement. These systems generate moisture leading to potential water related problems. A periodic inspection will provide accurate indications for a water problem somewhere else in your home and can help preventing a much bigger basement flooding.

Heating and Air Conditioning System

HVAC systems must be regularly inspected if located in the basement. Check the drain pans and remove debris to allow it to flow. Do not overlook the filters and replace when needed. When inspecting the HVAC, take a close look at the ductwork. Deteriorating insulations must be treated and sealed.

Ceiling and Walls

Moisture walls are a red flag for a water problem in the basement and may be a hint for internal leaks. Take a look at the walls and search for stains. If visible, follow the trails to locate the source of the problem and fix it. Even the smallest sign of a leak in the basement must be treated promptly.

Pipes

A common problem is pipes condensations caused by pipes sweating. This problem promotes mold and corrosion if ignored. To reduce condensation, consider installing insulating on all pipes.

Sump Pumps

Sump pump assist in keeping unwanted water out of your basement. When checking the pump, make sure the outlet pipe is not clogged and that it directs water away from your home. Test the pump by filling the pit with water to make sure the pump is working. Check that the pump is running and that it is actually pumping out water. Clean the air hole in the discharge line. Make sure that the motor is running well and that there are no strange noises. If you own a battery operated pump, check the battery and replace when needed. Keep in mind that all problems must be fixed immediately.

Repairing water damage

Water damage to your house or business can be caused in several ways. It could maybe happen little by little as a result of somewhat leaky pipe fittings or even a small split in your foundation, or  it might occur quickly with damaged water pipes (like may happen in the winter) or even a hole in the roof made by a hurricane. No matter the way it occurs, it is a problem that needs to be dealt with promptly. The longer the dampness is left in place, the greater damage it is going to do.

Water which causes the destruction is normally put in 3 different types.

Category 1 – Clean water

Category 2 -  Slightly polluted and can bring about sickness

Category 3 -  Highly contaminated and can cause serious disease or death.

Regarding category 1 water damage, the home/business owner might be able to manage it themselves if it is in a smaller area. Then again, when it is in a very large area, or maybe is a Category 2 or 3,  it really is time for you to call in a trained specialist. The potential for lots more damage, or even health problems can be a possibility. Having said that, if the home or business owner still chooses to handle the problem on their own, here are some important things that should be performed right away..

1)The very first thing to do when water damage is experienced is always to switch the power off. Water and electric power certainly are a deadly pair. Stop the flow of water in case it’s still happening. You can’t start cleanup until this is accomplished. You’ve got to cut off a main valve.

2)Next, begin cleaning up the water.  It is critical to get all of the water extracted as you can as quickly as possible, or you will have a good place for mildew to develop and bring about  a lot more issues. If you think it is a category two or three you ought to be putting on rubber gloves and also a mask.

3)Once you have as much water out as you believe it is possible to, you should bring a few heavy duty fans to the location and put them to work drying up the moisture. They will need to remain working provided there’s even a small level of dampness.

4)In case you have damage you know can’t be repaired like saturated drywall, warped or ruined floor coverings or carpet, it must end up being taken out; it still has plenty of moisture content and it is just in the way.

5)When you’re sure the moisture issue is solved and all the ruined items are outside the building and also the area is clean, It is time to overview the damage. You’ll still have to call in a pro to help examine for mildew, deodorize and disinfect, and look at electrical wiring if it had been damaged

Remember all through this procedure that the KEY to water damage restoration is getting all of the wetness out so  more deterioration can’t occur.

Preventing Bathroom Mildew

Your bathroom is one of the most moist rooms in your house , and therefore is one of the rooms where mold is most likely to grow. The fact that heat and moisture are frequently generated in the bathroom promotes mold growth as these factors provide great conditions for mold to grow and flourish. Prevent mold in your bathroom is vital for your health and for the way your bathroom looks. In addition, if neglected and due to optimal growing conditions, bathroom mold is likely to spread internally through walls, ceilings, and floors, leading to an extremely expensive remediation costs. One of the key factors for bathroom mold prevention is frequent inspections to prevent water damage that can lead to mold growth. The first step in mold prevention is keeping your bathroom dry and airy. Use a humidity meter to check humidity levels before and after showers. Be sure to keep humidity levels below forty to forty five percent. If you allow adequate air circulation, your bathroom humidity levels should drop below 45 percent within 5-10 minutes from the minute you finished your shower.

Shower and Bathtub Maintenance

Keep the bathtub, floors, walls, and ceilings, clean and dry at all times . To prevent mildew where it is very likely to grow, be sure to stretch the bathtub curtain after using the bathtub to allow equal and complete drying.

Air Flow

Allowing air flow is a key step in keeping low humidity levels. The basic technique and the simplest is to open windows and doors right after taking a shower to allow air to free flow and remove excess moisture. If you didn’t install an exhaust fan yet, do so as soon as possible as this is a great tool for bathroom ventilation. Turn on the exhaust fan while taking a bath or shower and leave it working for 5-10 more minutes after finishing using the bathroom to allow the bathroom to dry completely. Confirm that your fan exhausts outdoors directly.

Daily Maintenance

Daily maintenance is important to prevent water damage and mold. It will also help detecting problems before they become a large scale catastrophe. Drains must be kept in good shape. Allow the bathtub to drain completely and by removing all debris and using drain openers from time to time. Create hard surfaces on your bathroom walls using semi-gloss paint. It is harder for mold to grow on these type of surfaces.

Can an Insurance Company charge damages for water damage when the condo board paid a deductible on their claim?

I am the tenant of a condo and had accidental water damage to the unit, and floors below. My landlord claims they do not have insurance to cover the damage, but the condo board does and has paid out a $5000 deductible for the insurance for all the units to the insurance company, which I have reimbursed. Now I have been contacted by the insurance company about being charged for the remainder of the damages.

My question is, am I not sheltered by the condo boards insurance deductible?

Your situation illustrates a prime example of why tenants should purchase renter’s insurance. The condo board insurer covered the loss to the condo, but that doesn’t mean the insurer is not going to attempt to recover its payout from the person responsible for the damage. That person is YOU. No, you are not sheltered or covered. You’ve already paid the deductible portion to the condo. Now the insurer involved wants to recover ITS payout. If the condo insurer had a zero deductible, it would be coming after you for the entire amount of the damages. This insurer is following standard practice for such situations. Learn the value of renter’s insurance.

Can I file a water damaged mac under homeowners insurance?

So here’s the deal: My roommate pushed someone walking into my room while they were holding a water pitcher. It spilled all over my computer and caused a lot of damage, over $800 worth… It really was an accident cause he couldnt see that he was holding the water pitcher. Apple doesn’t cover water damage so we (really he) has to pay for it. Even thou im at college, is there any way we could file this under homeowners insurance? Or anything else to make it cost less?

If the computer is scheduled under valuable items on your or your parents’ homeowners insurance policy, you will probably have coverage for this with no deductible. Before you make a claim, call your agent and find out if you have this coverage. If he or she says you do, then you should still weigh whether or not to submit the claim since it is still relatively small, i.e. you should limit your claims to instances where you truly cannot afford to handle the damage yourself.

I hope this helps. Good Luck!

My hot waterheater burst & water caused damage to the condo below. Should my liability insurance cover it?

I have additional insurance beyond what the condo association covers. I have liability insurance and have filed a claim but they are saying it will most likely be denied because I was not negligent becuase as far as I knew the water heater was in good shape. My insurance company says that the owner below me needs to file their own claim with their insurance but she is refusing to do so saying that the damage was not caused by her. Is this how it is supposed to work?

Odds are that the actual liable party here is going to be either the manufacturer of the water heater (depending on how old it is) or the condo association who may be responsible for maintaining it.

The lady below needs to report this to her insurance because I doubt any other party is going to step up and offer to pay without a long investigation. While she waits the water damage is only going to get worse.

Her company has a contract (policy) with her and under the terms of that contract they will pay her regardless of who caused the damage. Then her company will go after who ever they think is liable to seek reimbursement for the money paid and her deductible.

You are not liable just because the water heater was in your condo.

Condo flooding whose insurance cover what?

I live in a condo complex. The sink in the bathroom overflowed and flooded my bathroom as well as the condo below. I talked to the water damage guy and he says my insurance covers my damages & the insurance of the guy below covers his. Is this true?
My repairs are minimal, so I did not report it to the insurance. Also I have the regular condo insurance not sure if it covers this kind of flooding. Please advise

that would be your homeowners insurance probably, not the condo assn’s

Will home insurance cover tree roots causing water to enter my basement?

I live in montana, and tree roots have grown under my foundation and drawn up ground water, created a path for the water to follow, and separated my foundation from my footing allowing water to enter my basement. Will any home owner’s insurance cover this type of damage or repair? It is a city tree, would they be liable? Thank you.

No, for several reasons:

1. Tree roots are a maintenance issue.
2. Foundation damage is specifically excluded on the standard policy, except by fire
3. Water damage, from water seeping/leaking into the basement, is considered flood, and also excluded on the homeowners policy.

The city isn’t liable. Any part of the tree on YOUR property, is YOUR responsibility – including the roots.

Sorry, you’ll have to get this done on your own.
