Home and business owners hit by flood damage across the UK could needlessly spend thousands of pounds rectifying ruined buildings because they do not understand what is covered under their buildings insurance policies, says drainage expert Drain Claim.
Drain Claim is appealing to those affected by the floods not to pay out for repairs unless they are 100% confident they do not have adequate insurance cover.
Drain Claim also believes that many will not make accidental insurance claims simply because they do not understand the wording of their policy documents. Echoing David Cameron’s pledge to ensure people whose homes were wrecked by the recent floods receive the compensation they deserve, the company is urging insurers not to bamboozle customers out of making a claim.
David Hayes, CEO of Drain Claim, said: “I am certain the gut reaction of many home owners to flood damage is to fix it as soon as possible but they shouldn’t be paying for any repairs without speaking to a drainage expert first and identifying the exact cause of the damage and whether they have a valid insurance claim.”
