Preexisting Home Damage
Most states only allow a maximum 2 year delay in filing a claim.
There is no such thing as a retroactive claim. Homeowners Insurance policies "Do Not" cover preexisting damage and the claim should be filed with the Insurance company that was covering the home at the time the damage occurred.
