Buying a home represents the most substantial investment you can expect to make in your lifetime. Because of the financial risks involved in purchasing a house, you want to be meticulous when it comes to inspecting the entire property to ensure your investment is both structurally and financially sound. Even if you buy a home in mint condition, you must follow a repair and maintenance schedule to increase the value of your property. From trimming hedges to replacing an entire roof, owning a home comes with an incredible amount of responsibility.
What happens when you follow all the recommended repair and maintenance schedules, only to fall victim to serious property damage caused by an issue you never knew existed? We are talking about cast iron pipes that fall into disrepair
Many homeowners that bought a home constructed before 1980 have to deal with corroded cast iron pipes that constitute the heart of a house’s plumbing system. Several factors can cause corrosion, and the worst part is a growing number of insurance companies deny claims for cast iron pipe replacement projects. If an insurance company approves a cast iron pipe replacement claim, there is a good chance the company undervalues the homeowners' insurance claim.
