Property damaged by chemical plant explosion

Troy Welch

Posted

I have a property 90 miles from me.  It is near TPC chemical plant in Port Neches which had an explosion this morning at 1 am.

My tenant reported that they are fine but 3 windows are gone and the garage door is bent.  

He is going to cover the windows with a tarp.  I plan to go out and cover windows with wood.

The plant has not established a claims line yet.  I did most of the work on the house so I don't really have a contractor that I can send out there.

Where would you go from here?

I have contacted my insurance and while they would be happy to service the claim, they recommend taking it up with TPC claims so there is no claim against my policy and no out of pocket for me.

Here is the statement from the plant:

    I'd sell it to me, a local investor in the Beaumont region.
