FNB SHORT TERM INSURANCE DESTROYED MY PROPERTY AND STILL EVADING CLAIM.

I laid a claim with FNB after my pool pump stopped working after bad weather. FNB sent their assessors who destroyed a large portion of my paving and did not put it back correctly instead left it in a disheveled heap and now has sent one picture showing baby roots a 10th of my pipe underground which have apparently caused the leaks without proving that this is where the leak is. The picture shown is at the entrance to my weir basket but there is no indication on the photograph that there is a crack or that the roots caused any crack. YOU CAN'T TAKE A PICTURE OF UNDERGROUND ROOTS AND SAY THERE THAT CAUSED THE CRACK WHEN THERE IS NO CRACK ON THE PICTURE FNB. The mere fact of existence of roots is not proof of the damage. The damage could be further up in the line but the assessors chose to open the land close to the trees because they knew they would find roots instead of trying to find the true leak area in the pipe. THIS IS A WAY OF TRYING TO EVADE A CLAIM AND NOW SEND ME TO THE OMBUD WHICH THEY KNOW WOULD BE A LONG JOURNEY INSTEAD OF PROVING THAT THE LEAK IS WHERE THE ROOTS ARE!!!!

Reviewer Update
FNB, the Pool Contractor Tienie for FNB was here today without my knowledge and permission. My boyfriend at the property was told he had permission. I therefore did not have the opportunity to have your contractors show me where the leak is which is attributed to the "baby roots". My contention is that the presence of roots in of itself is not proof of a leak 'somewhere' in my pipe system. Picture of a crack showing the roots causing the crack would be. Having your guy enter my property without my foreknowledge gives an opportunity to create reasonable doubt. Please send another competent assessor to find the leak. You will note from the report that the leak was not found as it is alluded that the leak is somewhere in the system. What if the leak is in the filter itself which is no where near roots or what if there is actually a blockage in the pipe and not a leak. Decline my claim for a half ass job because I am assumed to be a lay person does not justify months and years I am going to have to pay insurance - so please don't waste my hard earned money FNB.
