When the water heater got dropped, the water cascaded down into my den and destroyed or damaged about 200 books. The insurance company would only pay about $2 - $3 a book (replacement valuable). They put no extra value on books that were signed. They balked at replacing the carpeting claiming a company could come in and "recover" the carpeting because it was clean water, not dirty water or sewage that got on the carpet. Losing the books broke my heart, but there was nothing I could do. The plumber saw how upset I was and paid for the new carpeting and never sent a bill for the water heater or the work that had to be done to fix the damage of breaking the pipe and installing the new water heater. I was lucky in one way because I had cabinets under one of the bookcases where I keep a lot of my camera equipment and the water didn't get in there. That would really have been a disaster.
