During 2007, a friend of mine woke up in the middle of the night (bathroom break) to discover water flowing throughout most of his home. A pipe in a guest bathroom had burst a few hours earlier.
The cost to repair? About $20,000.
The loss was covered, minus the deductible. A very inconvenient claim, this loss completely disrupted their lives for weeks. Holes had to be made in various walls and about 20 loud fans placed throughout to speed up the drying process. Try sleeping at night with those fans blowing, my friend described. New flooring in the kitchen had to be pulled up and new cabintry was also damaged.
This was a Gilbert home not too old. Yet, it still had those bendable metal pipes in nearly every water inlet, the kind known for breaking. I explained to my friend that I had upgraded some time ago to newer, flexible pipe hoses. They were relatively cheap at the hardware store.
Check your hoses at every water connection in your home. If it still has those older pipe hoses, you should replace them immediately. The small cost might save you weeks worth of aggravation.
