Allegedly insurance companies don't like to fight lawsuits hence why they cave to the roofing companies.

So instead of fighting the lawsuits they just pass the losses down to policyholders.

Great system we have.

Sump pump failure was not the cause of the loss.

I was in the business and would question what your agent said. Almost all homeowners policies are known as all risk coverage.

Do not know of any policy which would not provide coverage for something like a roof. Policies will not pay for a roof if it wears out.

we never seen one.

We lost around $30,000 to replace the furnace, freezer, hot water heater, and a lot of personal belongings.

So much for having insurance
