What Goes Wrong on Selden Claims
Away from the coast, the most common losses in Selden are burst and frozen pipes, failed water heaters, appliance leaks and basement water. The remnants of Ida in September 2021 showed how fast heavy rain can flood basements far from the water, and whether a water backup endorsement is on the policy often decides those claims.
What Homes in Selden Are Like
Much of the housing here went up in the decades after World War II: Capes, ranches, split-levels and high-ranches, many expanded with dormers, second stories or rear additions. When an addition built in the 1980s meets an original 1950s framing system, adjusters often argue about where the damage started and how much of the home has to be opened up.
