Unfair Claim rejection on covered geyser pipes

Standard Bank home insurance is disappointing and worse to say the least. I had a leaking geyser and they approved and a new geyser installed.Now the geyser pipes are not rusted,as I’m told by the assessor,and this is causing the blockage for water not to get thru .STD bank has rejected the claim to repair the pipes .STD says it’s a wear and tear. How would I have known that the hidden pipes from the geyser and running thru the house are my responsibility to maintain. I can even see these pipes to mantain. This is not fair but I’ll take it up with the ombudsman if standard bank insist on not repairing..

Worst the contact number given takes almost 25 minutes to get thru the real agent
