Quick answers for Fairview Heights homeowners.
Hot water tank failed in our 1985 Lincoln Trail home, slow leak that finally let go. How do you tell recent versus old damage?
Document observed staining, moisture, material condition and the plumber’s findings. These observations may inform the investigation but do not by themselves establish exactly when a leak began. The insurer determines coverage under the actual policy.
Our 1979 Bunkum Road home has the original water heater, sump pump, and supply lines. Plumber said all are end of life. Coincidence?
Have the home’s individual systems assessed for condition and maintenance needs. Construction era alone does not establish simultaneous end-of-life failure or the cost saving from proactive replacement.
Galvanized supply line in our Fairview Heights home pinhole-leaked behind a wall for weeks before we noticed. State Farm coverage?
Ask State Farm to review the actual leak, discovery timeline, policy and endorsements. Gradual damage and mold terms vary; documentation supports the review without determining whether coverage applies.
“We don’t tell you it’s mold because it looks like mold. We use independent findings, we plan, and we tell you what you don’t need to remediate.”
