Did you know water expands by 9% when it freezes? 🥶 When trapped inside a tank or pipe, this expansion can cause cracks and serious damage. In pool heaters, this often leads to leaks in the headers — where water can get trapped — and issues with the pressure switch, which prevents the heater from running during low flow. 🛠️ Dive deeper into how #FreezeDamage impacts pool equipment and what to look for before settling these #claims this winter.

Standby #generators provide an essential backup power source for policyholders during extended outages. It's important for #adjusters to understand how these systems operate. 1️⃣ The standby generator is connected to the building’s electrical system through an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). 2️⃣ When the ATS detects an interruption in utility service, it signals the generator power on. 3️⃣ Within seconds, the generator's internal combustion engine starts and begins to turn the alternator. 4️⃣ The alternator converts the mechanical energy created by the generator's engine into electrical energy. 5️⃣ The ATS transfers the building to generator power until utility power has been restored. 6️⃣Once the ATS detects that utility power has been restored, it automatically transfers the building's power to the building's electrical system and shuts down the generator. Check out the statistics based on StrikeCheck assessments below to explore common causes of generator failures and insights into generator assessments.
