[pianotech] water damage

I always tell my customers not to settle with the insurance company for
about 2 years.  It'll be that long before the total affect of what will
possibly happen is shown. Rust, warping, split sound boards or what have
you.

I have some questions about water and pianos. A Yamaha C6  had about one
inch of water on the soundboard, bridges plate etc. The piano will need a
new pinblock, strings and action work. The case is fine as well as the inner
rim but there is some discoloration on the bridges. The soundboard so far
looks alright. How much water can a piano take?  What things should I be
looking for? At what point would you write a water damaged piano off?
