RE: CLAIM #121 0036 548
INSD - PAUL R COTE
POLICY #HE 06 036 017
LOSS DATE - 3/13/93
Dear Mr. Thompson,
In your letter dated May 5 , 1994 you notified me that my policy does
not cover the situation stipulated in the above claim. Your reason is
stated that "movement of the chimney is the result of settlement at
the foundation level". I intend to show that you are not in
possession of all of the facts concerning the above claim.
I trust that your determination is based principally on the inspection
of the fireplace by your consulting engineer, C. Michael Horton, P. E.
in April of 1994. That inspection, which was witnessed by my wife
and me, consisted only in a visual inspection after which several
photographs were taken. We do not feel that the inspection was
thorough or founded in good engineering principles since Mr. Horton
took no measurements, did not ascertain if the fireplace footing was
adequate, did not discuss the town' s building codes, nor did not ask
to see the construction plans for the dwelling. Furthermore, he
stated that one of the signs of settling was the depression in the
ground north of the chimney. I informed him that I had relocated an
flower bed from that exact location in the fall of 1993 in
anticipation of repairs and had moved the soil as well to minimize
disturbance to the plants. I did not fill in the depression and that
is the cause of the depression. The absence of vegetation in the
depression at the time of his visit supported my statement.
The chimney problem was first detected coincident with one of the many
storms that we have experienced. While the problem may not be
directly attributable to any particular event, the following may
convince you that the problem was revealed to us by weather, which is
covered, and/or by collapse brought about by weight of contents and/or
defective methods in construction, which is the root cause and also
covered by our policy.
First of all, the plans for the house call for a foundation which
should have been poured to include a footing or base for the chimney
as part of that foundation. Due to an oversight by our builder, this
was not done. Construction plans can be produced upon request. Our
town Building Inspector , Mr. Russell Stauffer, informs me that when I
commissioned the building of the house, the town code called for the
footing to be 12 inches thick, extend six inches out from the
fireplace walls and be located forty two inches below grade. An
inspection with a spade would be necessary to determine if the builder
conformed to this code. Furthermore, the footing may not have been
inspected by the Town' s Building Inspector at the time of construction
because the plans filed with the town illustrate the chimney footing
as part of the foundation. Additionally, he stated that if the
footing is installed on natural undisturbed earth, no special
preparation is required, but in our case, fill was used to bring the
grade up to the proper level. Photographs are available to support
this. A building code requirement exists to compact disturbed earth
to 90 percent density and that a compaction test may be performed but
is not required. During the construction period, my wife visited the
site daily and observed no heavy equipment such as would have been
required to perform the compaction. Mr. Stauffer informs me that
there is no record of a compaction test on file with the town.
Secondly, the fireplace was constructed with what now appears to be
entirely too much material. It is a single flue chimney, yet is 47
1/2" wide, 26 " deep and extends 16' 10 " at its narrowest part to the
peak. By comparison, our double flue chimney which exists near the
center of the home is 26" wide by 17" deep, almost half the size.
Near the base, the chimney in question is 70 " wide, 26" deep and is
90 " inches high before it reduces to the 47 1/2 " width stated above.
This insufficiently prepared foundation, and excessive bulk of the
chimney is not in accordance with our building plans. Additionally,
we feel that the abnormal width of the fireplace at its peak where it
is unprotected from high winds such as were experienced during
hurricanes or other storms exposed it unnecessarily because of its ill
advised construction. We could hear the chimney banging against the
house during the fiercest weather, and the separation from the house
became the most obvious in March of 1993 after the winter hurricane,
but most likely was the cumulative effect of many storms.
Thirdly, we have been told by people experienced in construction and
by Mr. Stauffer that fasteners which hold the brick to the structure
must be applied between the chimney and the home all the way to the
top. The separation between the house and the chimney is so large
that it enables anyone to see that there are only two fasteners, and
the highest is approximately 12 ' 10 " above the ground. Is this
sufficient for a 24 ' 4 1/2 " chimney?
We intend to commission our own consulting engineer and consult with
the State' s Insurance commissioner and our lawyer if that should
become necessary. We ask first that you reconsider our claim in light
of the above stated facts.
Sincerely yours,
Paul R. Cote
