Port St Lucie - Kitchen Plumbing Claim Denied - Final Settlement $13,000

In February of 2018, a Port St. Lucie homeowner (E.A) contacted VIP Adjusting after discovering water under his kitchen sink from a failed garbage disposal (or garburator if you’re Canadian) that caused damage to his builder grade kitchen cabinets. The garbage disposal was repaired and documented to be the source of the leak.

After inspecting, because of the dark color of the staining, the insurance company denied this homeowner’s claim, insisting that the damage was “long term” and therefore not covered by his insurance policy.

Unjust denials can cause the claim to take longer than expected, but after a few months of fighting, we were able to obtain the homeowners $13,000 to repair their cabinets.
