Flood Victims - Have adjuster cover your AC unit if flooded
Posted on 8/19/16 at 7:57 am

Just an FYI bc I had to work for this after Katrina.
My house received about 6-8" of water and so did AC unit which was on the ground. Unit worked when power was restored. I had my AC guy give the system a checkup and he informed me that even though the unit was working the water did make contact with certain electrical contacts which will probably reduce the life of the outside unit. He wrote me up a little report about it and after a little back and forth insurance covered it. About 1.5 yrs later the unit crapped out. Saved me a couple grand.

Thanks, I'll add this to the list of things I need talk to my adjuster about.

The overall message about the A/C is correct but -
Anyone who has their house flooded knows EXACTLY the depth of the flood water that was in it.
Personal experience.

It would be helpful if people would post questions to ask adjusters during inspections. Such as 1) are you paying for mold treatment and inspection 2)electrical inspection etc

I mean, my house flooded in Katrina and I tell people about 4 ft. It was varying depths depending on the slope of the house.

You've obviously never experienced what sinking ground can do to older houses.
Have you ever been in an old house?

6-8" is pretty concise... If he said 10-20" then maybe you'd have a point

What the frick do you want him to say? 6 3/4". Not a big difference between 6" and 8".

Not all houses are perfectly flat and there can be a variance in height of flood from room to room and even in one room. When we flooded in the 80's, we didn't take out a tape measure and get the exact numbers, we eyeballed it as well as our adjuster and FEMA. Get real!!!
Adding: OP must live in a world that is flat.

Well this is my Personal Experience.
I had evacuated and then I couldn't get into my house for 2 weeks after Katrina. My house was in JP so just had minor water bc the pumping stations were not manned. PThe mold was about 2 feet up the wall. The actual amount of water was a bit of a guesstimate. Definitely over the shoe molding but after that is was hard to tell.
Oh and
