Dry rot. Can I claim?
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009
We’re having some work done at home and our builder has just reported dry rot in the basement. What are my chances of making a successful insurance claim?

Hello Frank, I’m sorry to hear that. Usually dry rot is explicitly excluded from insurance cover as it is ‘gradually operating’. However there is a slim chance of getting somewhere with an insurance claim in certain circumstances. Why don’t you give me a call and I’ll talk through some ideas with you?
