Improper / wrongful water damage insurance claim denials are usually based on an insurance carrier classifying any new water damage as long-term / constant / repeated / continuous damage:

- Without complying with industry standard water damage inspection procedures.
- Without performing the inspection immediately after the water release / intrusion (and oftentimes, months or years after the water release / intrusion).
