Kita EidechenNeschd: Dryer removed - who bears the costs?

In the daycare center "EidechenNeschd" in Candenheim, there was a significant water damage recently, which now has extensive repairs. Mayor Andrea Schmitt (CDU) informed the municipal council about the current status of the measures. The dryers, which have been installed to remove the moisture, have now been removed, but the insurance will not cover the costs for them, such as "https://www.rheinpfalz.de/lokal/gruenstadt_Artikel ,-wasserSdarature-kostet-_arid.5769715.html"> Rheinpfalz reported.

A cost estimate by the contracted company is between 26,000 and 30,000 euros. The necessary repair work, which include tile and wallpapering, should be completed by June. Schmitt emphasized the urgency of a drought certificate to further ensure water security. The costs for this are also not covered by the insurance company.

childcare in danger?

In order to maintain childcare during the repairs, temporary use of the multi -purpose hall could be considered. If the insurance company consent, it could even be possible to end the care there before the summer vacation. This testifies to the overriding responsibility of the community, because the safety of the children has a top priority.

A safety blocking device for the water supply is also planned, but it should also be taken into account that the costs for this are not covered by the insurance company. This measure is intended to help prevent future water damage.

Insurance coverage for water damage

In the context of water damage, it is important to check the insurance conditions carefully. According to Advisor Advisor , the main responsibility for building insurance is covered by tap water if this is contractually agreed. Elementary damage insurance is required to secure damage caused by natural events such as heavy rain or flooding.

annually there is a pipe break every 30 seconds in Germany, which illustrates the relevance of comprehensive insurance. In 2023, the damage to the damage due to tap water damage in Germany was a total of 4,500 million euros. Building insurance cover the costs for the location and elimination of the cause of the damage, also for drying measures and repairs.

But not every cause of damage is insured. Floods, groundwater, or damage caused by gross negligence do not fall under the benefits of building insurance. For this reason, it is advisable to find out about your own insurance at an early stage and, if necessary, to make necessary adjustments.

For the parents concerned and the entire community, it remains to be hoped that the necessary repairs in the "EidechenNeschd" daycare center can be completed quickly in order to enable the children to continue to provide a smooth care process and to avoid future damage due to the security measures taken.
