water damages
IS WATER DAMAGE COMMON IN FINLAND?
The expenses for renovating damage caused by water and moisture have, in Finland, grown quite large. The remuneration of water damages has, in fact, increased five-fold over the past twenty years. This is primarily due to the fact that pipes have not been refurbished often enough. Insurance companies compensate about 25 000 water damages a year, and the expenses of the remunerations total over 100 million euros. These figures do not include damages that have not been disclosed to or reimbursed by the insurance companies.
