Marble Hill, GA 30148 Insurance Q’s & A’s From Georgia Insurance and Fire Commissioner John Oxendine During the winter months we hear about many incidents of frozen pipes and subsequent water damage to homes and furnishings. Many consumers are aware that flood cov erage is not included in standard homeowners policies and they worry that damage from frozen pipes will fall under the flood classification. However, flood waters are consid ered to come from outside the home, so most homeowners policies will cover the cost to repair frozen pipes and the resulting damage to carpets, furniture, etc. c VieWs On ® FDental Healtti Wesley Burke, D.D.S. PIN OR POST? Fractures often leave teeth weak and in need of underpin ning for support. Pins and posts can be placed in the tooth to give added support and create a core around which to build the restoration (fill ing). However, pins and posts are used in different circum stances and for different pur poses. Pins are usually used to add retention for filling material mainly in the back molars. They are cemented, tapped, or screwed into place to add sup port where there is no nerve removal (root canal therapy). However, pins are not usually Cynthia Hall D.M.D. used with composite resins. Post, on the other hand, are used in instances where the tooth’s nerve has been removed by root canal therapy. They are not always necessary. Using them depends on how much chewing force will be exerted on the bite and how much tooth structure is left.

Will my own insurance pay for cleaning and repairs or should I try to get my neighbor's insurance to pay? A: In this situation, your proper ty should be covered under your own renters (or condo owner) poli cy. If you don’t have such coverage, the neighbor’s liability policy may pay for the damage, but only if you can prove your neighbor was negli gent in allowing the pipes to freeze. Q: I had several water lines dam aged during a recent freeze. Will my homeowners insurance pay to have the pipes repaired? A: Damage to internal plumbing caused by freezing is not covered in most homeowners policies. The pol icy will cover furniture or other household items damaged by water leakage, but not the pipes them selves.
