IAG Warns Customers: Prepare for Rolling Wet Weather

'When water damage is left untreated, it can cause long term problems such as mould, odour and structural damage including warping. If you have been impacted contact your insurer as soon as possible."

Mr Lindsay said vehicles are also vulnerable during heavy rainfall and flash flooding.

"Cars, motorhomes and other vehicles aren't immune to rain damage. If you can, park your vehicle undercover or on higher ground," he added.

"Ensure your windows are shut, as rainwater can cause mould, rust, corrosion and damage electrical systems.

"Most importantly, intense rainfall can quickly lead to flash flooding and can have tragic consequences so please never drive through flood waters."

Simple maintenance and preparedness actions can significantly reduce the risk of water damage to your home.

Regularly clearing debris from gutters and proactively inspecting and maintaining the condition of your roof are key to minimising wet weather leaks.

"If conditions are safe, take steps to protect your property by clearing gutters, downpipes and drains to help prevent water overflow. Ensure windows and doors are closed as wind‑driven rain is one of the most common causes of avoidable property damage.
