House fire of still flooded home in Houston, blessing in disguise?

Probably home owner with no flood insurance torched the sonofabitch before daylight

Fire insurance adjuster will probably still determine how high the water got, estimate the cost of the flood damage that occurred before the fire, and subtract that from fire claim settlement. Not that easy to get over on insurance company. And thats assuming the building owner doesnt get busted for arson because the fire dept and insurance company will both be investigating the cause of the fire

I would imagine if that person had homeowner's insurance they would investigate the causes for months before making a final decision.


Also...if you got 2-3 feet of water in your home you could still salvage stuff that was higher up. Now with the fire...you really have lost everything.

I'd still rather only lose half of my belongings than all of them.

Not if they determine cause of fire was from flood water.

No that's what you call Jewish lightning

These were the vogue in Chalmette, post Katrina. They collected.

At the time of loss, the home had 3' underwater or damages by flood. Homeowners would pay for the flood line up damaged by fire. Cabinets, flooring etc were flood damaged and they are what cost the most during repairs
