It depends on your policy and the circumstances of the leak. Most home insurance policies in Western Australia cover sudden and unexpected water damage, such as a burst fitting. However, leaks that develop gradually due to wear and tear, such as a deteriorating ceramic cartridge or worn O-rings, are generally not covered.
Your insurer may cover resulting damage to cabinetry or flooring in some cases, but typically not the cost of the tap repair itself. We recommend reviewing your Product Disclosure Statement or speaking with your insurer directly. Our team can inspect the issue and provide a clear written report to assist with any insurance enquiry.
