Plumbing Claims Advice for Lawyers / Insurers

Our Forensic Plumbing and Loss Adjuster insurance experts can be engaged directly by law firms or Insurers to assist in dealing with Victorian plumber’s warranty claims as well as other water / plumbing related insurance claims and disputes Australia-wide.

As many have done before you, rely on our formidable expertise which includes decades of ‘runs on the board’ in this unique specialty field.

As Metropolis Solutions does not hold an AFS Licence, due to changes in the law as of the 1 July 2021 which mean that providing claims advice is now a financial service, Metropolis Solutions can now only provide claims advice directly to a practicing lawyer or Insurer.
