BROKEN CAST IRON PIPES CLAIM

Cast Iron Plumbing and Drain Failures

About

Cast Iron Plumbing and Drain Failures

If your property was built 30 to 50 years ago, the cast iron piping of your plumbing and drainage systems may be crumbling, breaking, and ultimately collapsing inside the walls, and with each passing year, the potential for major water damage increases. Don’t wait to take preventative action:

Find out what type of materials were used throughout your property.
Have the pipes and drainage system inspected.
Make sure your insurance is appropriate for the age of your buildings.

The damage caused by leaks, cracks, or burst pipes can be very expensive, and the steps you take now could keep those costs under control.

Factors Affecting Insurance Coverage

Even after inspections, repairs, and other preventative measures, the materials used to build the plumbing and drainage systems in your home or commercial buildings affect your insurance coverage:

Cast iron pipes were used commonly in the 60s and 70s with a life expectancy of 25 to 30 years.
Modern PVC pipes could last up to 100 years.
Some property owners have experienced complications with their broken drain pipe insurance claims because of old cast iron plumbing.

Insurance policies today are generally written with the newer, longer-lasting pipes in mind. This may require an adjustment in your coverage; otherwise, the damage that results from older pipes may not be covered sufficiently.
