@comparethemarketau: Could one of the biggest culprits for home and contents claims be hiding under your kitchen sink? 😱 Beware of the flexi hose! Does home insurance cover water damage? plumber assessing water damage pipes A home insurance policy will typically provide cover for water damage to the property or its contents in the event of an escape of liquid. The escape of liquid will generally need to be sudden or accidental, and not attributable to general wear and tear. If the damage is due to wear and tear, in most cases the insurer likely won’t pay your claim – as the insurer would view the damage as being caused by long-term degradation, rather than a spontaneous escape of liquid. This determination will be made following the investigation of the claim. It’s important to note that a home insurance policy covers damage to the structural components of your home, while a contents insurance policy covers damage to your belongings within the home. A combined home and contents insurance policy could cover the replacement of damaged contents, as well as the repair of any damaged walls or floors.
