Why are water-damage controls important?
Shutoff procedures, pressure testing, supervision, documentation, leak detection, and emergency response can influence both loss frequency and severity.
Does a maintenance agreement create additional exposure?
It can. Inspection promises, response obligations, documentation, customer reliance, and the scope of service should be considered with liability and contract terms.
Coverage descriptions are general. Eligibility, availability, limits, deductibles, valuation, exclusions, and policy terms vary by operation and insurance market. Actual policy documents control.
