When your property has experienced damage to either its roof or floor tiles, dealing with the associated costs is not easy. When your roof tiles are damaged, your property is left in a vulnerable state until repairs can be made. If you are noticing that the flooring tiles inside your home are cracked, chipped, or showing signs of contamination, it may be an underlying symptom of foundational water damage.
If you have contacted your insurance company and are experiencing difficulties in getting the coverage you deserve, you may want to speak with a West Palm Beach tile damage property claim lawyer. At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine, we can review your homeowners’ insurance policy to get a better understanding of what compensation you are entitled to under your insurance policy. Avoid having damaged tiles create additional damage to your home’s exterior or interior. Not only can this lower the value of your property but cause potentially hazardous health conditions as well.

Uncovering the True Cause of Damaged Tile
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) says that one broken tile can soon cause damage to the others surrounding it. What may first appear as an unsightly blemish may quickly evolve into a much larger problem. Internal and external tiles can be severely impacted by water damage.
Some examples of how this can happen, include:
- Inclement weather, such as a windstorm
- Burst or leaking pipes
- A sewage leak
- Clogged gutters
- Issues with plumbing
- Faulty appliances
You should begin the insurance claims process as soon as you are aware of the damage to your home. For example, if you notice that one of the tiles in your home is cracked, it could be an indicator of water leakage beneath your home’s foundation. Not only can this be very costly, but if left unchecked, it could compromise the building’s structural integrity. You do not want to run the risk of your home being deemed unsafe to inhabit because you waited too long to seek repairs.
