does your homeowner insurance offer any reimbursement for code upgrades?
we tried to do it ourselves, to the latest codes, and went round and round with permit inspections. They wanted this, then they wanted that. The overflow/drain pipe goes thru the foundation (50’s tract homes) and they complained they couldn’t physically see where it drained. The concrete overflow pan had to have a metal insert. It felt like they were intentionally driving us to go pay a contractor or face repeated inspections. In hindsight, we probably would have been just as unhappy paying $2400, but it would have been a lot less stress!
I’ll check into that.
The upgrades probably added a few hundred $ to the cost, I’m sure.
