Leak Insurance Claims

Internal Water Leaks can Cause Significant Property Damage.

Whether due to a flooded washing machine or dishwasher, a leak from a failed water tank, a frozen or burst pipe, or dripping from an old or corroded pipework within a water or central heating system.

You could also find yourself dealing with shower unit leaks or those caused by blocked drains.

Such property damage is commonplace and, with the tendency for modern properties to have multiple bathrooms and en-suites, it’s becoming even more of an issue.

As you paddle through your kitchen or catch water in buckets, you may feel things are beyond you. Negotiating your own leak or escape of water insurance claim means understanding insurance ‘speak’ and grasping what your policy wording should offer. That can be challenging for anyone. For those who are time-poor, under stress, or more vulnerable, it’s even harder.

Luckily, you do not have to go through this alone. You can simply appoint us to act as your loss assessor and let us guide you through all the jargon, the insurance process and the negotiations. We’ll even find you the good-quality tradespeople you need.
