What is the name of your state? SC
This thread is from a previous post I made today, and I was told it was too long, so I am presenting a condensed version.
I received a flood of water in my bedroom from an improperly installed dishwasher next door. Lady next door comes over the inspect the damage and says they will take care of it and not to worry about it. Affected area of my carpet is damaged (carpet separates from backing, pad comes up in pieces). Their insurance will not cover damages. My insurance says that they will pay, but being an insignificant claim ($1200), my already outrageous premiums will increase. Not an option for me. I call neighbors and ask that we settle this mess among ourselves. They were willing to extract water from carpet and dehumidify and nothing more. By the time they responded, I had already pulled up carpet and installed tile, so I would not have to deal with this again. All I was asking for was cost of replacing carpet. I have pictures, but the carpet is gone. Should I contact an attorney for consultation? Is it going to be worth my time to take this to small claims? What questions should I ask during consultation. I dont want to leave any stone unturned. If anyone would like to read my unabridged version, it is available on this forum. Thanks for your help.
