Kensington Homes and Their Claims
Many homes in Kensington predate the 1940s. On older houses, insurers often argue that damage was pre-existing or the result of deterioration, so photos, maintenance records and a contractor's opinion on cause carry real weight.
Storm, Water and Fire Risk in Kensington
Water from inside the house is the everyday claim in Kensington: a supply line that bursts in January, a water heater that gives out, or a sump pump that fails during a downpour. Insurers often call these 'long-term leaks' or 'seepage,' and the timing and source of the water become the real dispute.
