Since it is totally tile and can’t be matched it all has to come out, so we have to pay for the rest of the work. I don’t know if this is the way all insurance companies are as we have never had a problem like this before. But, the insurance is reasonable and saved us a bunch of money when we switched; it did go up about $600 the second year after their intro rate.
If the leak was caused by shoddy construction or deterioration dye to age, I don't understand why an insurance company should pay a claim at all.
