I am currently working in New Orleans rewiring residential structures that were flooded as a result of Hurricane Katrina. The flood water contained numerous corrosive materials as well as a high consentration of salt water. Many of my customers are having some difficulty with their insurance companies in regards to paying to repair electrical damage. Most of the structures I am dealing with have the branch circuits run under the wood floors. Most panel boxes have also been submerged. I need other professional opinions to present to my customers to help them in their battle with the insurance adjusters. What say you?

I would suggest reading the Article in the Jan 06 Electrical Contractor Magazine on page 52. This Article specifically covers this issue and is written by Jeff Griffin with commentary from Jim Pauley.
