Insurance Claim

We had a bit of a surprise this week. At approximately 4AM on Monday morning, I awoke to a fire alarm in the house. Of course, I had a brief moment of panic...I went out to the panel and realized that it was the garage.

I went out to the garage through the breezeway, touched the door and found that it was cold. I opened the door and wondered why it was raining on my cars.

As the cobwebs were clearing out of my head, I thought that there was a problem with my roof. I went upstairs in the garage and saw nothing but steam. I found that it was a heating pipe spewing out water onto the floor.

After burning my hand determining that the water was hot, I ran downstairs to the cellar and figured out how to stop the water.

I cut the line going to the garage, allowing it to drain down. I did it to avoid future problems when the pipes froze.

After contacting my insurance company, they told me that I would have to have lots of cleaning done by a professional company because of the threat of mold, etc. Steamatics was the company and they were incredible! My insurance company was also incredible. Even though I can't say it was a joy to work with them, if I have problems, I want them backing me up.
