Your electrical box is no different than an old roof. Just because it is old and a higher hazard doesn't mean the insurance provider should replace it to avoid future further loss.
This. $500 deductible and $2500 max unless I can prove I had no knowledge of the leak, then $25k max. Not sure how I could have known or, if I did know, why I'd let it deteriorate to the point of rot, but, I'm guessing it's a safe bet they can find reason enough to deny. Plus, like you said, not worth the claim baggage when there's no way there's more than $3k worth of damage.
It just sucks.
I did. I watched it burn. I can see that house from the end of my driveway. I also watched half this town make detours through this no-outlet end of the neighborhood just to watch it burn. I hate people.I am still trying to figure out how you had no idea a house on the other block burned to the ground

I did not know why or how it burned until that info was divulged to me. Not exactly Sunday morning subject matter, don't you think? Or, do you make a habit of asking folks how they lost their limbs?
Your reading skills are failing you. This thread is over a year old. I only get touchy when I have to deal with halfwits.I know your touchy at the moment since your house inspector sucked.
