HVAC Water Damage Claim Case Study

Water can damage an HVAC system, but not every exposure results in losses that warrant replacement. When evaluating water-related HVAC claims, understanding what components were affected—and to what extent—is critical.
In the claim described in this case study, a policyholder reported that a sewage backup damaged their furnace. After receiving a claim for the split system with a full replacement cost of $10,685, the adjuster engaged HVACi to assess the reported damage, verify its cause and scope, and provide objective recommendations for returning the equipment to pre-loss condition.
