Hi all.
broken drains.
The drain repair company began work yesterday and what they say is usually
a
2 or 3 day job to fix these problems is going to take maybe 5 days.
They've already dug a hole about 4ft square and 12 feet deep and need to
dig
plenty more. The updates they've given me, describe the pipework beyond
the
back door of my yard
as very poor and loosely connected.
The law seems to say that the pipework up until it reaches the main sewer
is
my responsibilty.

But it can't be fair for a home owner to be held responsible for pipework
that is 8 or 10 feet below ground level
beneath layers of concrete!

Has anyone had any experience of insurance claims is situations like this/

thanks.

Arthur.

Conversely it can't be fair for the public to be expected to pay for
your private drain repairs can it?
You could of course have previously chosen to pay for an insurance
package to cover the potential failing but once the problem has been
identified you are too late.
The fact that most of the insurance packages never see a claim is what
makes the insurance company profitable.

Lifes a bitch and then you die!


Jesus! It wasn't me that chose the friggin England squad.
