When Does Your HO-6 Policy Pay First for a Draper Condo Leak?
Your HO-6 policy pays first when the association's management committee decides the loss stays under the master policy deductible, per the Utah Insurance Department summary.

Your restoration company writes an estimate the committee can weigh against the deductible and labels photos by unit, so ask for both in writing.

Alpine, the nearest NOAA precipitation station to Draper, averages 21.12 inches a year. Your restoration company photographs the entry point, so ask it to note any roof or wall opening.
Which 2 Public Lookups Vet a Restoration Company Before It Works on Your Draper Home?

When Does a Draper Townhome Owner Insure the Walls Instead of the Association?
A Draper townhome owner insures the walls when the declaration was recorded before January 1, 2012, covers attached homes, and makes owners insure their dwellings. The Utah Insurance Department summary describes that carve-out. Your restoration company documents damage either way, so ask that the report separate your unit from shared areas.
Why Does a Draper Restoration Company Photograph Rooms Before Removing Anything?
The Utah Insurance Department tells you to photograph damage and to hold permanent repairs until your insurer inspects. Your restoration company takes its own photos and limits early work to repairs that prevent further damage. Ask when your adjuster plans to see the home before the rebuild goes on the calendar.
