Trace and access can help stop leaks doing more damage to your home. A professional will have a range of methods to detect the source of a water leak which can wreak havoc in your home. An expert will be sent in to break down walls or flooring to get to the root of the problem if necessary, and the cost of replacing everything damaged in the process should be covered.
Why is it called Trace and Access?
When damage occurs to a property, the first step in the process of making a claim is to determine the cause of the damage. This is known as “tracing” the source of the problem. For example, if a roof is leaking, the cause of the leak must be found before it can be repaired. This process can be time-consuming and costly, as it may involve hiring professionals to perform inspections, tests, and evaluations to determine the cause of the damage.Once the cause of the damage has been identified, the next step is to “access” the damage and make any necessary repairs. This may involve removing walls, flooring, or other parts of the property to properly assess and fix the issue.Trace and Access cover is designed to provide financial protection for the costs associated with tracing and accessing the cause of the damage. This can include the cost of hiring professionals to perform inspections, tests, and evaluations, as well as the cost of making any necessary repairs.Uinsure provides £1million of Trace and Access cover as standard which gives policyholders peace of mind that they will be protected if they need to claim and will receive a quick and efficient service to address any damage that has occurred.
