@hustlersnthehood: A pipe broke under Brenda Daurham's kitchen sink on Valentine's Day and flooded the house she has lived in for more than 40 years. The Markham fire department came out. She called Allstate and says they told her she was covered and not to worry about a thing. Excel Fire and Water Damage Restoration dried the house out. The bill came to $17,827.96. Then Allstate denied the claim, writing that the damage was wear and tear, deterioration and seepage. Excel wrote back that everything they saw pointed to a sudden plumbing failure, and asked Allstate to show what it based that decision on. Allstate has not. On August 20 the restoration company filed a lien for that amount against her house with the Cook County Clerk. She is 81. She has been out of the home for six months and it still has no running water. People started tagging Tyler Perry under the local news story. He paid the lien this week and said he would cover the repairs too. Allstate still has not paid her claim. #HustlersNTheHood

Call the department of insurance. They don’t owe to fix the pipe but they do owe to fix the damage caused by the water.

Insurance after every year should have to pay you back at least 50% of what you put in if you especially did not have to make any claims. Otherwise you’re paying for something you’re not actually receiving a good for.

All State is the absolute worst insurance company.

There needs to be some sort of payback program, to where if you’re paying for years and years and don’t ever file claims or don’t have accidents or anything, you get money back.

yeah thats how insurance works. insurance only pays for the UNEXPECTED due to a NAMED PERIL. if you don’t maintain your house, like your roof and you have a “leak” it will NOT be covered. insurance is NOT supposed to fix your house because its old and then something major happens. that’s literally not how it works and never has.

We pay insurance for no reason when it comes to a house because they cover what they want and charge hefty prices on top of what you have to pay when something happens. But they make you have it.

You would think they could have helped her with the money she paid every month for 40 years. Insurance whether it’s health, car or home is the biggest legal robbery in America

I mean that is fair. Home insurance is for accidents not to fix 60yr old pipes. Does your auto insurance fix used tires? No. Have to maintain it, its not insurance responsability to fix your house in perpituity. You want insurance to be 20x higher?

Allstate is the reason we lost our home after a house fire. It took them a year to finalize the claim because the adjuster didn’t think it was that bad and wanted to just put kilz over charred wood in the attic. We went through 6 contractors. All said the house had to be demolished and rebuilt. When they finally did approve the full claim, then the mortgage company saw it as a liability and wanted the work to be done 50% of the way before paying the insurance money out. We didn’t have 150k. We chose to let it foreclose and they used the insurance money to pay off the mortgage. We walked away with a clean slate. You are NEVER in good hands with Allstate.
