We have a homeowner whose claim is being investigated. The house blew up, fire, and partially collapsed. This happened in June of this year. The fire report deemed the cause was undetermined.

The insurance company hired a company to disassemble the house in August to find the water heater in the basement to see if it was the cause of the explosion and fire. After retrieving the water heater (still not the cause of the fire), they didn't make any effort to clean up the property.

After several attempts from our company and the homeowner to have the insurance company clean up the mess they made, the homeowner hired a company in October who produced an estimate for $14,000.00 to demolish the house.
