    Default Insurance invalid if a fire is caused by tent in cellar

    Touch wood I'm careful and safe with what I'm doing but what if my house was damaged or burnt down due to growing cannabis in my cellar, would my insurance cover it or could it be invalidated?

    I think if it illegal or immoral in the eyes off the powers that be that causes the fire I don't think your covered should all be in your insurance policy bro

    Suggestions to be super careful? My electrics are new and I have a powder fire extinguisher, it's just that I'm not there to sleep over a couple of nights a week.

    If you make sure that all your fuses are rated correctly & have Rcd breakers and (preferably) MCBS fuses on your main board then the only problem left is the bulb, for some reason, exploding

    I had my electrics all replaced 9 years ago so I would hope I'm ok.
