Never mind the golf balls. As hailstones the size of tennis balls smashed the East and West Rand in Gauteng, safety first was the order of the day for many people living in these areas.
A serious storm such as the one that laid waste to homes and cars can do untold damage in a matter of minutes, as some unfortunate homeowners would testify.
And now that mopping up operations are in full swing, particularly in some areas of the West Rand, the focus for many has turned to claiming for the damage that the storm has wreaked on their properties.
Structural damages to buildings and roofs was quite widespread according to reports, but one item that may be overlooked when assessing the damage to your property is the pool cover.
Older pool covers may become brittle and could have been irreparably damaged by the large hailstones.
Please ask your insurance broker or insurance company to check your policy as you may be entitled to lodge a claim.
If you have specified your pool equipment in your insurance policy schedule or if your insurers have stipulated they are giving free insurance cover for this equipment, you will be paid out for the damages.
