24. Had a sudden wall leak upstairs. Ripped open the wall to discover my chimney was never sealed and I have extensive damage.
Adjuster came out this morning. Interior will be covered for water damage. We don’t know about the exterior. I had two inspections done under USDA requirements before I bought it, moved in 2023. Only found this after I heard dripping in the wall during a rainstorm last week. Ripped it open and water was gushing in around the chimney. Insurance won’t cover “rot” but how was anyone supposed to know about this? Idk. Will probably contact the Amish to see about repairing the exterior wall and sealing the chimney gaps since this is a very old house. SIGH. Pray for me.
Top Comment: I’m confused, you’ve lived here since 2023 and it’s never rained? Or was it just particularly heavy this past season?
