Get another insurance Company. You may or may not have to replace the concrete as others have said. You can check for yourself after a fire with no more than a hammer. If it chips off easy you know it has been damaged. Another way is a power washer with a zero tip or a dirt buster tip. Rock walls can be mudded up on two story farm houses even if they have been fired to the point of mortar that can be dug out with bare fingers.

As far as insurance Companies, well they are like every other business and fellow man. Some give fair deals others probably not.
