There is no denying that water is the main threat to your UK holiday home. A small pipe fracture can release thousands of gallons of water if left undetected. Our experience is that the subsequent damage can render a holiday cottage uninhabitable for up to a year whilst the property dries out ? with owners losing valuable holiday rental income.
The cost and inconvenience caused by the escape of water can be extensive. During the big freeze in December 2010 there were 103,000 property damage claims for burst pipes, at a cost of ?680m. The average insurance claim is estimated at ?25,000 however, ?100,000+ repair bills for water damage to the buildings, contents and drying out are not uncommon.
Many burst pipes can be avoided by taking some simple preventative measures when holiday cottages are left unoccupied.
Floodcheck ? flood and water damage prevention
The damage caused by water can be significantly reduced by minimising the amount of water that can escape. Simply turning off your water supply when your holiday property is unoccupied is recommended. Another solution is the Floodcheck flood prevention device.
From the manufacturer
?The Floodcheck Auto valve is a flood prevention device which protects your property from internal flooding by monitoring your water supply. It automatically switches off your main water supply if it detects a water leak, preventing water damage?
