You know the drill by now: There’s a residential loss. The homeowner calls their insurance company to file a claim. The job gets started.
Recently this very situation took place for Melissa Gilbert, who made a name for herself on “Little House on the Prairie” and, more recently, as a contestant on “Dancing With The Stars.” She had a loss at her Los Angeles home when a pipe break in the crawlspace flooded out the area. Melissa called on a local restoration company to complete the job – which they did in about a week. All was well until she went to sell her home and an inspection revealed a large pool of water in the crawlspace. The home sale was halted and Melissa was back to square one – calling her insurance company for assistance.
