water damage

[Leslie Bartlett]

I had about 12 inches in a Cable console ( I know it was junk before the
flood), which, dried out quickly, still works some 15 years later....

Hello
 
I work for an insurance company and get lots of calls for pianos with water
damage.  One piano I looked at had been sitting in 6 inches of water.
(Heintzman u/r) . The bass strings are rusted, but there is no other sign of
damage. I would like to know if in the future could the wood warp, split or
glue joints come undone?  I certainly would not like a piano that had water
damage. Do I write these pianos off? What amount of water can any piano
withstand?
