Water damage is a complex issue for condominium building managers and property owners. Whether it stemmed from a ceiling leak, a damaged pipe, a sewer backup or a flooding event, water damage presents a lot of hazards to tenants, posing threats to human health, damaging building materials and racking up thousands of dollars in water damage restoration and mold remediation costs.
When it comes to condominium water damage repair and cleanup, only depend on a trusted restoration professional like ServiceMaster by Wright in Fort Myers, Florida. Our experts discuss condominium water damage causes, solutions and insurance coverage below.
Time is a crucial factor when dealing with water damage. Condominium owners should deal with water damage as a multi-step strategy that starts with prevention. In the end, water damage is a result of factors that you, the building owner, can immediately manage to prevent tenant complaints, health issues and expensive structural damage down the line.
The upstairs neighbor might not know there’s a problem, so reach out. Explain the extent of water damage in your condo and the need to make repairs as quickly as possible.
If the neighbor can’t stop the leak, alert building maintenance right away. Make sure they understand the potential damage and how it can affect other units.
Don’t assume the owners of the upstairs condo or your homeowners association (HOA) will reimburse you for water damages. Call your insurance agent and start the claims process.
Contact your HOA and request two copies of their master insurance policy. Forward one to your insurance agent so that they can determine its coverage and any HOA liability.

Water damage restoration following water damage is a special discipline and should only be carried out by a qualified water damage restoration company who fully understands the importance of the process.
