Insurance failing to detect and repair leak on property

I have logged a call with Standard Bank Insurance with regards to a water leak on my property on 11 October 2021. The 12th a plumber came to detect the leak and said they are unable detect, the insurance will need to send out a gas leak detector. A day went by and we havent heard of the insurance and contacted them, they said they will send someone out the Thursday @ 13:00. No one pitched, we contacted them again on the Friday, they were going to send someone out thee Saturday, no one pitched. Eventually on Monday, 18th, someone came and said the could detect the leak either, but that there is definitely a leak. They were going to return the following day as they had to allocate it to another team or something. We havent heard anything back as yet, meanwhile our waterbill is going sky-high!!!! We have been told that we will get `n rebate on our water account, but at the moment the bill is just accumulating and accumulating!!!! Call centre everything says they will get back to us but they never do!!!

No one has contacted us yet. I have called yesterday again, I have spoken to Charlie, he was suppose to call back by 14:30, nothing yet. Our water bill is increasing and increasing and increasing!!! Im noting everything and at the point where Im going to get lawyers involved! Insurance is pathetic!!!! What if we end up with a sinkhole?!?!

We are hearing this over and over from different people, but all is failing to deliver. Perhaps I should skip the bond payments and use that money to have it sorted myself. The purpose of insurance is to make things like this easier, but it aint easy at all. It`s the 3rd week now!!!
