Damaged legs

freeroll

Registered
I have a Brunswick Camden 3 pool table. It was in my basement, and recently, my basement flooded with backup from the sewer. The legs of the table were submerged in the water for about 10 hours, before I was able to dismantle it, and take it upstairs. A few hours after I had got the table out of the water, I noticed that one of the legs had cracked.
I am fully covered by my insurance company; however, they said there is not enough damage to replace the legs and/or the table. I am just looking to get an expert opinion on whether the legs would be as structurally sound, or not, as before it was in the water.
P.s. the table is 2 years old.

Thanks.
Adam.
 
According to your insurance company's logic, if a car gets into an accident but is still driveable then they wouldn't fix it.

But this is even worse. A cracked leg is unavoidably less structurally sound than a non-cracked leg. Considering that this leg provide 25% of the support for a very heavy table, it's like driving a car with a deep cut in the sidewall of one tire. Maybe it will hold, but if it doesn't the results could be catastrophic.
