Water Woes with Reuben & Tessa

In this episode, Reuben and Tessa share stories about storm damage and water problems in their homes. Reuben talks about door knockers who claimed hail damage on his roof, but he discovered that the damage was not significant enough to warrant an insurance claim. Tessa shares her experience with a leaking on-demand water heater and subsequent water damage in her rental property. Reuben also discusses a water leak in his rental property's basement caused by a clogged condensate pan. Both hosts highlight the challenges and frustrations of dealing with home maintenance issues.
