Real life claim example
One customer suffered water damage from the flat above when a neighbour left the tap running with the plug still in the sink and left the property, forgetting about it.
The customer returned home to find water coming through the ceiling of the kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom.
Carpets were saturated, the mattress was soaking, and the kettle and toaster were floating. The air fryer, cooker and fridge freezer were badly water damaged. Cupboards were emptied to dry, and all food was thrown out.
Fortunately, this tenant had a home contents insurance policy which meant she could claim for the damaged items, which were her responsibility, and the claim was settled within 8 weeks of the incident.
