On most jobs, denied Lake San Marcos claims are commonly reopened successfully when proper documentation is supplied the second time. We do not advise filing a Lake San Marcos claim where the harm is clearly age, since a declined claim stays on the record. On most jobs, most Lake San Marcos claims that give out do so because the deterioration was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it. That is as true in Lake San Marcos as anywhere in San Diego County. As a rule, insurance work in Lake San Marcos turns on documentation. Damage recorded before anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. Policies covering Lake San Marcos properties generally pay for sudden deterioration and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. This holds across San Diego County.
