re: Replacing old cast iron drain pipes

Discovered last week, after a plumbing issue, that the cast iron drain pipes original to the home were mostly destroyed due to age and modern chemicals. We dug out and tunneled under the slab to a portion of it and there’s no bottom left of them.

Has anyone had luck with homeowner insurance on something like this? Allstate is essentially denying the claim.

Insurance will not cover plumbing repairs but will cover damage done as a result of plumbing failures unless they know you knew about it and did not address it.
