Most buildings insurance policies provide cover for septic tank problems or damage to other drains and drainage systems under an area within the policy called ‘Accidental damage to underground services’ (or similar).
Accidental damage can be a confusing term, but quite simply it means anything unforeseen that hasn’t been caused on purpose. Problems typically covered are those such as tree root damage, or a collapsed drain caused by vehicle movement. Problems that would not be covered are those such as soft blockages or systems that haven’t been installed correctly.
The definition or interpretation of accidental damage can vary from insurer to insurer, and many claims that we manage involve highly technical discussions. Our team combines technical drainage expertise with claims handling experience, to ensure that we can identify when a possible claim would be valid, and successfully handle all negotiations on your behalf.
