SHORT TERM INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER WATER PIPE FAI

4 INCIDENTS OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS OF COPPER PIPE FAILURES AT MY HOME RESULTED IN EXTENSIVE RIPPING UP OF CONCRETE FLOORS AND MASONRY TO REPLACE AND MAKE GOOD. DOUBLE STOREY TOWN HOUSE. THESE INCIDENTS HAVE COST ME APPROX. R13000 WITH NO RELIEF FROM COMPASS. THEY MAINTAIN THAT BURST COPPER PIPES AND FITTINGS, BURIED IN CONCRETE AND MASONRY, ARE CONSIDERED A "MAINTENANCE" ISSUE AND HENCE NOT COVERED- ALTHOUGH LESS THAN 10 YEARS OF BEING CONSTRUCTED. (THIS COVER IS VIA THE BODY CORPORATE - "TOP NOTCH" TABLE VIEW, CAPE TOWN.)
