what is it about home insurers emergency lines ..... they make it so ..... difficult!

[Andrea]

So i have water pouring from my ceiling tonight in the lounge - which i track back to the bathroom 2 floors up....ring the home insurance and they ask you for your post code 3 times - just to check you are who you say you are and ask other useless ****, like i have to hand when my house is flooding - sorry rant over. Had this again this time last year - house is a potential plumbing system bomb...Now need a huge Gin and Tonic. Thank god for a day off tomorrow - down to the smoke, girls on tour.. watch out London..

Of course Rob.....for a for a high proportion of the population................you may as well say open heart surgery is only fixing a more flexible type of pipe.............the difficult part is sometimes getting at it and the knock on effects.

When its what you do for a living Frank , its not rocket science ,, you just crack on diagnose it, get on and get it done, rather like cutting someones ingrowing toe nails

fortunately no nails need clipping... had the insurance surveyor out - ok so the leak was the result of sink pipe connected to the bath one which had been slowly leaking away and rotted the floor. The bath was the final straw and pipe a and b no longer connected, thus erupted....pipe is located behind tiled boxing which we could only see what had happened by taking bath side off - pointing a mobile camera and clicking...

so new floor and pipework to be made good along with several rooms - ceilings that need decorating... any good builders?

...not much use to you there Andrea...always a pain...but at least you can put it right now and hopefully the insurance companies will stump up!
