Homeowners discovered their wraparound decks were in poor repair. Upon investigation, the city confirmed that the decks were built without a permit.

TitlePLUS covered the cost to remove the decks and paid the reduction in value of the property. When the decks were removed the contractor discovered water damage inside the siding of the house caused by the fact that the siding was never intended to have decks attached.

Fortunately, the homeowners had a TitlePLUS policy that covered not just the removal of the decks but also the exterior repairs.
