Hello All,
Unfortunately a leak has developed in the main water line supply (in the basement of the house). This leak has been diagnosed in the section of the pipe that is embedded within the concrete foundation of the house. The plumber has quoted me a pricey amount of close to four thousand dollars to excavate the land and replace the entire length of the pipe. Meanwhile due to the constant trickle of water the carpet has been ruined. I am given to understand that the ruined carpet will be covered under my insurance policy. However, the excavation and replacing the damaged pipe might not be covered because the insurance companies are not willing to pay for any settlement or age related issues. Is this true? Is there any other way one can ask the insurance companies to pay for this entire work?
Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.
