Does your Miami home date back to before 1975? Then you’re likely living with cast iron plumbing.

Dealing with deteriorating cast iron pipes can be extremely stressful for homeowners, especially when insurance companies delay, underpay, or deny legitimate claims. Our experienced team at Ovadia Law Group has helped numerous homeowners successfully navigate these challenging situations.
Insurance companies often cite water damage exclusions or other policy technicalities to minimize their liability. However, a thorough review of your policy may reveal that your insurer is actually obligated to cover both the water damage repairs and plumbing replacement costs.
While insurers may employ various tactics to deny claims – including bringing in their own engineers for inspections – you have rights as a policyholder. Our attorneys are well-versed in identifying and challenging improper claim denials.
Don’t let a denied claim discourage you from pursuing the compensation you deserve. Contact our experienced insurance claims attorneys at 1-800-674-9396 for a free consultation. We’ll review your case and help determine the best path forward for your situation.
Cast iron pipe failures create serious hazards for homeowners, from sewage leaks to dangerous infestations and significant health risks. These complex repairs often require extensive work and substantial investment to resolve properly.
While homeowners’ insurance should cover these legitimate claims, insurance companies frequently complicate the process. Despite marketing themselves as consumer advocates, many insurers change their approach when faced with substantial claims.
Insurance companies often resist paying the full value of cast iron pipe claims to protect their bottom line. Adjusters may employ various tactics to minimize settlements or deny valid claims entirely, leaving homeowners to face costly repairs on their own.
Insurance companies employ teams of experts who specialize in minimizing claim payouts to protect their bottom line. These professionals are highly skilled at interpreting policies in ways that benefit their employers.
While most insurance adjusters strive to be fair, they ultimately answer to their employers, not policyholders. Their divided loyalties often result in settlement offers that favor the insurance company’s interests over the homeowner’s needs.
The complexity of insurance policies, combined with the technical nature of cast iron pipe damage, puts homeowners at a significant disadvantage when dealing with insurers. Insurance companies often use this knowledge gap to their advantage when processing claims.
This imbalance is precisely why homeowners need dedicated legal representation. At Ovadia Law Group, we serve as your advocate, focusing exclusively on protecting your interests and securing the full compensation you deserve for your cast iron pipe damage claim.
