Water Damage questions
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage in Colorado?
Generally yes, though many Colorado policies have separate wind and hail deductibles, often a percentage of the home's insured value.
Do Colorado contractors need a license?
Licensing is local. Check with your city or county, such as Denver's contractor licensing, and ask for insurance.
How fast does water damage need to be dried?
As soon as possible. Mold can start growing on wet drywall and wood in 24 to 48 hours, and materials keep absorbing water the longer it sits.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Usually for sudden, accidental water such as a burst pipe or appliance failure. Gradual leaks, flooding from outside and sewer backups often need separate coverage or endorsements.
