Firedamage — New York, NY

Generally, water damage resulting from firefighting efforts is covered under standard homeowners or property insurance policies in New York. When firefighters use water to extinguish a blaze, this is considered a direct consequence of the covered peril (the fire). Licensed restoration companies work closely with insurance adjusters to document all damage, including both fire and water-related issues, to ensure a comprehensive claim settlement.
