Hey Bobby! Funny seeing you here.

Dave, did you open a claim with your own insurance company? Your insurance will then handle it with the other insurance through subrogation. We had to do this with a contractor who cut a pipe and flooded our house. The company tried to point blame at us but after 3 years our insurance company...
