What Damage Can Be Caused By a Pipe Burst?
Frozen water in your property's pipes can cause them to burst, leading to numerous problems. The thawing ice results in massive leaks throughout the building, causing exterior and interior damage to the walls, floors, ceilings and your personal property.
You may also have to temporarily or permanently shut down your business, resulting in loss of use or business interruption damages. These damages may also create for you a risk of liability to your neighbors and tenants if their property is damaged due to conditions occurring on your property.
