when we thought our basement flood, last Dec. end 2008, was due to a broken pipe; it was made clear that no water from above or from below could be causal to the damage. I knew, just knew that an incoming pipe had broken *just an inch inside the wall. But alas that particular pipe enters at the front and runs many feet in the heated house before popping up at the meters. But *insurance fraud is against the law; whereas what they do to people isn't? I'm not going insurance on this pole. I just want to know the simplest way to fix this now.
