We are having a second Wildfire season with fires popping up from Southern to Northern California, the rest of the country is experiencing Hurricanes, Tornadoes and Floods.  When wildfires are close to cities and towns, insurance companies also see a good number of property claims. When there is a pool or spa on the property, the chance of a pool or spa related claim being added to the other soot and ash issues increases. Hurricanes, Tornadoes and Floods also wreck havoc on pools, spas and hot tubs.

Pool Inspection Reveals Attempted Insurance Fraud

When it comes to insurance claims involving swimming pools, it can sometimes be hard to make the distinction between attempted fraud and lack of education. However, the result is the same: an inaccurate claim.

You can have a “do-it-yourself” homeowner who is positive he or she knows what caused the damage, or a homeowner who just wants a new pool—or even a pool company that could financially use a big job.

Swimming Pool Encounter with a Deer and How We Handled this Claim

Swimming Pool Encounter with a Deer

Shelter Island is a town and island at the eastern end of Long Island, NY population about 2,000. The area was an early 17th century New World settlement. Take a stroll and you may notice a 1932 iron sign that reads:
“SHELTER ISLAND SETTLED 1652. NATHANIEL SYLVESTER 1610-1680 A SUGAR MERCHANT OF BARBADOS WAS ITS FIRST RESIDENT OWNER”
In 1651, the island was sold to Sylvester’s merchant group for 1,600 pounds of sugar.
The island was home to the Manhanset, an Algonquin tribe, and its original name is Manhansack-aha-quash-awamock, which translates to “Island sheltered by islands.”
But there is another inhabitant of Shelter Island that has interacted with its residents for centuries. The deer.
In fact, drive 30 minutes from NYC into North Jersey or Long Island, and you’ll likely encounter deer crossing the highway. The Northeast’s deer seem to have no intention of going away, and one specific deer made for a dramatic day when it fell into a Shelter Island resident’s swimming pool.

Tips to give your clients:

Fires

As the fires rage all over California we have received many calls about what to do about soot and ash in swimming pools. This collateral damage is minor compared to what many people are experiencing. Our hearts go out to all affected.

Swimming pools in fire areas will contain ash, debris, toxins and possibly firefighting chemicals. In areas very close to fire the pool may have to be drained and refilled. If you are lucky enough to just have residual ash, your claims will be quick and easy.

  • Remove all larger debris in the pool as soon as possible. Brush all surfaces thoroughly. Skim smaller material with a net.
