Identifying Hidden Cause of Loss
January 21, 2020
After a valuable East Hampton home suffered water damage, the insurance company offered the owners only a fraction of the cost of recovery, misattributing the source of damage to seepage from light damage to an exterior wall.
Eastern Public conducted a comprehensive forensic investigation and determined that the cause of water damage was not seepage, but rather rain water migrating into the house as a result of roof damage from a recent wind storm. Had this pervasive yet unapparent roof damage gone undetected, this magnificent home would have had recurring damage and likely voided the owners’ ability to secure the insurance proceeds necessary to fully fund the repair.
