That happened to my parents. The insurance company was going to pay for new flooring and some furniture replacement, the feet got water damaged. My Dad settled with a cash payment of $8000.00 Then Had the flooring replaced got a new dinningroom set with money left over because shopped around himself. I also had a sink back up with dishwasher running and took the cash instead of having the insurance company replace it. I got a much better quality kitchen and new flooring by arranging it myself. My cash pay out was $7000.00 7 years ago. Good Luck !!! |
