Had 250ltr of our hot water tank leak through the ceiling recently.
There was a little damage there before (shower leaked a few years ago) but it was too much hassle to fix. Now the damage is much much worse.
The insurance are paying for the flooring but are refusing to pay for the ceiling saying I've not experienced any financial loss because it was damaged already?
Is this normal?
Surely its like saying you can't have a new carpet if its wrecked because there was a fag burn on one corner?
