Maybe you want to understand if the cost Trace and Access
for your leak can be claimed back from your home insurance
company under your buildings insurance or home insurance
policy.
Trace and Access is included in most house insurance policies and covers the cost of non invasive leak detection to locate the leak and access the leak – normally it does not cover the cost of any necessary repairs, however, it does normally cover the costs of remedial works after a successful leak repair has been carried out.
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.

If all the taps on your property are closed, but your water meter is still spinning, then you might have a leak. Even If there is no visible water spillage, then it might mean that you have a leak below ground.
Are your water bills abnormally high and your water usage hasn’t increased? Then you might have a leak on your water mains, or you may have an internal leak requiring Trace and Access.
If your boiler is losing pressure, then you might have a hidden water leak that requires detection and repair.
Has your heating stopped working and you can’t tell why? Check the boiler pressure, and if the gauge is under 1 bar, then its possible your heating system is losing pressure due to a water leak, Trace and Access is likely to be the best solution.
If you have signs of damp or water damage but are unsure of the source then your leak could be from an internal plumbing system, external water mains or even be a roof or structural leak.
In any of these scenarios, the leak could be in any location. It could be anywhere in the plumbing or could be underground leak and you need a Trace and Access company that can detect these leaks using non invasive technology.
