My neighbour's sprinkler system was turned on when went to work, house
flooded, all inside things watery, insurance says it is sprinkler
system fault, they won't pay, it is one year 2 months old, brand new
home, what to do?. His inside things TV, bed, sofa full wet, carpet is
wet, basement 3 foot water, now they are staying in hotel. Need some
suggestions. This is in NJ. Township official says they inspected in
the beginning when it is brand new. Now we were worrying what will
happen if it triggers middle of the night, what to do?.


The insurance company may still be liable to pay. For example, most policies
pay damage caused by things such as broken pipes so long as the owner was
maintaing the property properly. I would contact a Public Adjuster before
contacting a lawyer (if your state allows them). They usually work on
percentage, but they can tell you if your policy covers this type of
problem. Also, they can usually get more for you than you could on your own-
generally more than enough to cover their fee.
