Protect your greatest asset

Maintaining your home can help protect your home from subsidence and termites.

You also need to maintain your home to keep your insurance under the Queensland Home Warranty Scheme—your contractor isn’t responsible for fixing damage caused by lack of maintenance.

Maintain your home

Maintaining your home ensures you can still access insurance through the Home Warranty Scheme.

Protect your home against subsidence

Subsidence can cause building foundations to move and may lead to cracks in the building.

Protect your home against termites

Termites are particularly aggressive in North Queensland where you will need greater termite protection.
