The damage from a water leak is commonly covered on insurance policies in the UK. After all, it is one of the most common types of claim people make. Check your individual home insurance policy for your cover. As to if leak detection is covered, this will depend. Insurance companies have parts of some policies called 'trace and access' cover which generally covers the cost of water leak detection on your policy. We provide this service for customers of insurance companies across the Yorkshire Coast region and around.
