The Hidden Gaps in Standard Policies
Most homeowners assume “water damage” is a blanket term. In the insurance world, however, coverage often depends on the source of the water and how quickly you responded.
-
Sudden vs. Gradual: Standard policies typically cover “sudden and accidental” water damage, like a washing machine hose snapping. They often exclude gradual damage, such as a slow drip under a cabinet that you ignored for months.
-
The Mold Limit: Even if a water claim is approved, many policies have a “mold sub-limit.” This might cap your mold remediation coverage at $5,000—a small amount if mold has spread through your HVAC or walls.
-
Backup and Sump Pump Endorsements: In areas like Belleville, IL, and St. Louis, MO, sewer backups and sump pump failures are common. These often require a specific “endorsement” or rider on your policy to be covered.
How All Clean Restoration Works with Your Insurance
Dealing with adjusters while your basement is under two inches of water is the last thing you want to do. That’s why All Clean Restoration acts as your advocate. With over 45 years of experience in the St. Louis metropolitan area, we know exactly what insurance carriers need to approve a claim.
1. Detailed Documentation
We don’t just dry your home; we build a “case” for your claim. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to document the full extent of the loss, ensuring the insurance company sees the hidden moisture behind walls and under floors.

3. Direct Billing & Communication
We speak the “language” of insurance. Our team works directly with your adjuster to coordinate estimates and scope of work, reducing your stress and minimizing red tape.
