We purchased our house new in February 1989. In December of 1994, we had an in the wall leak of a hot water line that was repaired at a cost of $983.00 at the time. I submitted a damage claim to CPRC in July, 1996. In March, 1998, the claims adjuster came to our house to inspect the already repaired damage. Our plumber had to give her a written statement regarding the pipe and fittings.We were then issued a check for $762.50. I was glad to get any of it back. However, last week, we found out, following a leak, that we had the pipe in the main line coming into the house. Repairs are over $1800.00 and we may not be able to recoup due to the age of the house, but I'll try!
