    This is often not the case as many policies exclude ingress of water under the AD section - but it would depend on policy wording.


    See my above post, before this.

    Storm rains and ingress of water are completely different.

    For example, if you have a tiled roof, the wind speeds are not high enough to cover the roof tiles, but the rain is for example 50mm, you would cover the internal damage under storm, as there as storm rains present.

    Ingress of water is usually defined when there are no storm rains present.

    However every insurance company is different, the one I work for treats it like the above :)

    I am aware of this and although it has been very wet recently I have not come across any claims classified as storm rain - just persistent rain.

    :D
