Must be where you live. I've had Allstate for 22 years, and my house
was built in the early 1800s. My house has practically nothing "to
code", but I had no problem when I had a water damage claim. There was
damage to the electical wires which were not "up to code", so Allstate
paid to re-wire the damaged area and replace all the outlets and
switches. They didn't cover the plumbing, because that's what caused
the damage. They did, however, pay me thousands to repair the
electric, re-plaster a ceiling, replace a wall and two rooms of
hardwood floors, paint, wallpaper, etc.
