Common hot water system insurance claims
Fire, storm damage, flooding and electrical surges can render hot water systems unsafe or inoperable.
While insurance policies vary, some of the most common insurance claims involve fire, storm and water damage. These events can significantly affect a property’s hot water system and often require specialist assessment and repairs.
Storm and hail damage
Severe storms can damage hot water systems located indoors, outdoors and on rooftops.
Common issues include:
- Broken evacuated solar tubes
- Cracked solar collectors
- Damaged pipework and insulation
- Impact damage from falling branches or debris
- Water ingress into electrical components
- Damaged roof-mounted hot water equipment
Our highly experienced service technicians can inspect the water heater, identify the extent of the damage and provide repair or replacement recommendations.
Water damage and flooding
Floodwater can cause serious damage to hot water systems and associated electrical components. Water entering controllers, thermostats, ignition systems, circuit boards and electrical connections can render a system unsafe or inoperable.
Common insurance-related water damage issues include:
- Flood and water damaged hot water systems
- Damaged electronic controllers
- Corroded electrical components
- Contaminated or unsafe systems requiring replacement
We can assess whether repair or replacement is the most practical and cost-effective solution while providing clear communication between all parties.
Burst hot water systems
A burst hot water tank can release significant amounts of water and contribute to property damage.
To resolve any related problems, our hot water specialists can:
- Safely isolate the damaged system
- Remove the failed water heater
- Supply and install a suitable replacement
- Coordinate with builders and insurance repair teams
- Restore hot water to the property as quickly as possible
We can also liaise directly with all parties to ensure the replacement process is completed efficiently and with minimal disruption to occupants.
Electrical faults and power surges
Lightning strikes, electrical storms, flooding and electrical faults commonly damage hot water systems.
Faults include:
- Failed thermostats
- Damaged heating elements
- Burnt circuit boards
- Short-circuited wiring
- Faulty electronic controllers
Our licensed technicians can diagnose the fault and carry out the required repairs or replacement works.
Fire-damaged hot water systems
Following a fire, hot water systems may be damaged by direct heat exposure, smoke contamination, melted components or firefighting efforts.
When this occurs, we can assess the condition of the system and determine whether repairs are possible or complete replacement is required.
