Maybe you’re curious about whether your home insurance company will cover the cost of Trace and Access for your leak. You might be wondering if it falls under your buildings insurance or home insurance policy. Let’s find out!
Trace and Access Cover is a nifty inclusion found in most house insurance policies. It comes to the rescue when you’re dealing with a pesky leak. But what exactly does it do? Well, it covers the cost of using non-invasive methods to detect and locate the leak. Pretty handy, right? However, it’s important to note that it doesn’t usually cover the cost of repairs. But fear not! Once the leak has been successfully fixed, this magical cover often takes care of the costs for any necessary remedial works. Phew!
You may not realise you have Trace and Access cover without specifically asking your home insurance company or checking through your policy schedule and looking for it.
Each home insurance company has varying terms and conditions around Trace and Access, it is therefore always recommended that you call them to confirm what they will and will not cover. The service may be found under your home or buildings insurance.
