With Trace & Access, Your Leak Detection Could be Paid for by Your Insurance Company
We recognise that your concerns might revolve around the potential expenses associated with leak detection and subsequent repairs. It's worth noting that many customers are often unaware that the process of identifying and exposing the leak is typically covered under your home insurance policy. In the majority of cases, your home insurance provider will typically handle the primary costs associated with plumbing services and necessary repairs once your insurance claim has been settled.
This coverage usually falls under the category termed "Trace & Access" within insurance policies. If your policy includes this provision, it's highly likely that your home insurance company will reimburse the fees for our services through your insurance claim. Rest assured, we furnish you with a comprehensive and detailed report, complete with transparent pricing, which can be utilised for any insurance claims that may arise.
What is Trace & Access Cover & What Does It Include?
Trace and Access coverage holds significant importance within your home insurance framework. Generally, it is incorporated into standard home insurance policies; nevertheless, it's advisable to confirm with your insurance provider regarding the inclusion of trace and access coverage in your policy. This feature serves to cater to the often substantial expenses associated with the investigation and localisation of leaks within a property. Depending on your specific insurance policy, it might also encompass the costs linked to repairing the leak, making it worthwhile to inquire in detail.
While insurance policies can vary, the Trace and Cover section of your policy typically encompasses:
- The actual process of searching for and pinpointing the origin of a leak within your home.
- Gaining authorised access to the relevant areas to facilitate the necessary repairs.
- Subsequent repair work is required to address the damage incurred due to the utilisation of water leak detection techniques employed during the initial leak identification phase.
What Does Trace & Access Cover Not Include?
The Trace and Access provision within your policy does not extend to covering the actual repair of the leak itself, as this aspect is usually addressed by your building insurance policy.
Furthermore, it's important to note that this coverage typically excludes water ingress originating from outside your property, except in cases involving the escape of water resulting from a burst pipe.
