Last year I woke one morning to wet carpet near my vanity in my bedroom. I live in a duplex so after thorough checking, I thought it might be problem with my neighbor. I told them and showed them the wet area. They had their best friend who is a plumber come over and check out everything. Sure enough a pipe in their foundation had rusted. The plumber/friend had to drill down 2 feet to get the pipe and sure enough it had rusted. It caused water to seep up between the pipings and damage at least a 5 ft square area of carpet in my side of the house. The plumber/friend did lots of work and drilling to get it repaired. The @?%$#@?% insurance company wouldn't pay one penny of the cost nor would they pay for the damage on my side. They also told me that my neighbor was not at all liable for any damages to my side. To say that my neighbor, our plumber/friend and myself were livid was an under statement. The scumbag insurance company said my neighbor didn't have a clause in their policy that covered defective pipes in foundation. We were all furious to say the least. Can you believe this crock?? They will try anything they can do weasel out of any expenses and they will suck every penny out of the customer with premiums but when you need them, they could care less about your needs. Whew!!! I been wanted to get that off my chest for a long time. Actually the story is much longer but I couldn't type it all here. Don’t even get me started on homeowner’s insurance.
