Trace and access refers to a specialized clause and coverage extension included within home and property insurance policies that pays for the physical and technical work required to locate the exact source of a hidden water, oil, or gas leak. When a pipe buried beneath a concrete slab, hidden within a cavity wall, or concealed under floorboards begins leaking, plumbers cannot fix it without first exposing it. Trace and access covers the specialized labor and diagnostic costs of finding the leak using acoustic or thermal equipment, as well as the subsequent physical dismantling and reinstatement of walls, ceilings, or floors needed to access and repair the defective pipework, protecting policyholders from massive exploratory bills.
