Water overflows can strike unexpectedly—from a burst pipe, fridge leak, or appliance malfunction—and can quickly ruin your food and damage your property. Acting fast can save both your inventory and your wallet. Here’s how to respond safely and effectively.
Do’s: Take Action Immediately
- Stop the Water Source – Turn off the main water supply or the appliance causing the overflow.
- Move Food to Safety – Relocate perishable items to a dry, cool area or a working fridge/freezer. Non-perishable foods should be inspected for water contamination.
- Document the Damage – Take clear photos or videos of spoiled food and affected property. This is critical for your insurance claim.
- Call Your Insurance Agent – Contact AA Insurance to report the damage and get guidance on coverage and claims.
- Dry and Clean – Use towels, mops, or a wet/dry vacuum to remove water and sanitize affected areas.
Don’ts: Avoid Common Mistakes
- Don’t eat or use food that was in contact with contaminated water. Safety comes first.
- Don’t delay contacting your insurance provider. Late reporting can affect coverage.
- Don’t forget to check appliance warranties. Some damage may also be covered separately.
