Water damage can occur even if you don't live in a flood-prone area.

YOU might think that all insurance companies are the same when it comes to flood cover.

In fact, the reality is very different. For example, some insurers will only pay for water damage caused by rain and storm but not flooding from rivers bursting days after the storm.

What’s more, a substantial amount of water damage isn’t caused by the weather at all, but by everyday household accidents.

“Even if you don’t live in a likely flood area, there are many other types of water damage that could impact your property," says Suncorp Insurance Executive Manager Martin Weatherhead.

"That’s why we also cover damage caused by leaks from dishwashers, washing machines, pipes in walls, rainwater downpipes, even waterbeds. Suncorp Home and Contents insurance covers these types of water damage and includes cover for Storm and Flood automatically which we think is a must-have for Queenslanders," says Mr Weatherhead.

If your current insurer doesn't include all this automatically, find out more about Suncorp can protect you with Automatic Flood and Storm Damage cover.
