Insurance Works

When plumbing damage happens, the last thing you want is to wait around for insurance before getting it fixed.
At Paterson Plumbing, we get the job done straight away so your property is safe, functional, and protected from further damage.
Once the repair is completed, we walk you through what has been done and then provide a detailed report, complete with photos, that you can forward to your insurance company to support your claim. If your insurer needs extra information, we’re happy to assist by speaking with them directly.
We regularly help Adelaide homeowners and businesses with insurance-related plumbing issues that have caused damage including:
- Burst flexible hoses
- Water damage to walls, ceilings, or floors
- Leaking pipes
- Leaking tanks
- Roof leaks
- Leaks underground
- Accidental plumbing damage

With four generations of plumbing experience, we know exactly how to handle urgent situations and document them clearly for insurers.
Because our vans are fully stocked, most emergency repairs can be completed on the spot, minimising disruption and preventing further damage.

Every job is carried out to the highest standard and backed by our 25-year labour warranty, so you can feel confident that the problem is resolved properly.
At Paterson Plumbing, we focus on quick action, clear communication, and thorough reporting. By fixing the issue first and guiding you through the insurance process afterwards, we make a stressful situation far easier to deal with and leave your mind at ease.
