Water leaks can ruin your home or business fast. The disruption to your life or your business from a water leak is traumatic.
We know how traumatic it is to see your home flooded when it could have been prevented. Preventing water damage with the installation of AquaTrip water leak detection system should be compulsory in every home.
Every year it is distressing to see thousands of homes that are damaged, due to internal flooding caused by burst pipes and fittings that could have been prevented.

You still have to pay for 70% of the water wasted through a water leak
Gold Coast water is expensive if wasted through leaking pipes. A burst flexible hose tap connector under your kitchen sink will not only flood into your house at 1.5 kilolitres or 1500 litres per hour but will also cost you $4.21 per kilolitre every hour that it flows.

City of Gold Coast water leakage relief policy
If you think the City of Gold Coast will reimburse you for water leakage from leaking pipes or fixtures, then think again.
There are strict council policies on reimbursement, and even if you meet all the criteria you need to be aware that:
- you will still be charged by the Queensland Government a minimum of $3.122 per kilolitre
- you will be restricted to one claim for relief from payment every three years
To be eligible for leakage relief from City of Gold Coast the following requirements must be met but be aware pool leaks, tap leaks, toilet leaks, leaks in the irrigation system and plumbing fixtures are NOT ELIGIBLE
- the concealed leak was repaired in the main water supply pipe from which water enters the property
- the leak was fixed within two weeks of notification from the City that a leak may exist
- proof the leak has been fixed (attach a copy of the plumber’s invoice)
- the application is made within a term equivalent to one billing period of identification or notification of a potential leak (whichever is sooner)
- all sections of the application form have been completed.

Your insurance policy does not cover the cost of water
It is highly unlikely that you will get any compensation from your insurance company for the cost of the water that has flooded your home.
Water damage to your home can occur in so multiple ways. Water damage is generally not well defined in your insurance policy. In our experience, insurance companies specify water damage in two ways:
-
accidental or sudden water damage
-
gradual water damage
Essentially water damage from burst pipes, burst taps, burst valves, overflowing sewerage, overflowing stormwater and storm damage are covered by most insurance policies. This is because it was a sudden event that you could not have prevented.
In contrast, the damage caused by slow plumbing leaks in pipes, showers, toilets, gutters and roofs not damaged by a storm has no insurance coverage as they are classified as gradual water damage.
