What Are the Odds?!?

Call your insurer and ask how much it would cost to add special
coverage. This will be a good indicator of the odds. Also, they might
actually (actuarially?) have data on this.

OMG is right -- how big was the tank? (tanks) -- is there a certain brand

worried - I have a 2 story house and a 125 and a 20 upstairs. Would be
disastrous if this happened here. What ARE the odds??

I got in to work this morning and found that overnight, one of my tanks
bottom glass "gave out".

I didnt realise what had happened right away...

I had assumed that the bottom seal gave out so naturally I took

everything

out and was going to re-seal the tank.

I was amazed when I got to the bottom and saw the tempered glass was
shattered!

Has this happened to anyone else before?


I have had two tanks bottoms fall out over the years plus one that the

front

glass went !!!

I wouldn't file a claim even if it did go. The lady who teaches my
daughter's horseback riding, her mom works for the insurance industry. She
said these days.. unless your house burns to the ground, don't file a claim.
Most companies will cancel you if you make a claim these days and some even
consider just ASKING about it as potential trouble. Even a minor one will
get your rates *adjusted*. Most things you are better off just sucking up
without even a glance towards your insurance company's phone number..
