How Quickly Can We Get to You?
In most cases, we can arrive within the hour. We prioritise emergencies to make sure you get a rapid response quickly and efficiently. Many plumbing problems can be resolved or at least made safe within the first hour of our arrival.
Can You Help with Flooded Properties?
Yes, we can. We have the tools to pump water from flooded areas, such as basements, and direct it to a drainage system. Our equipment, including a drain jetting machine, can be adapted to handle water removal efficiently.
Do You Only Make the Area Safe?
This depends on the specific situation. For example, if a pipe is leaking, we will stop the leak and carry out a repair. However, some repairs may need to be completed during regular working hours, especially if the emergency occurs late at night. Our main priority is always to make the area safe and prevent further damage. Each case is unique, and we will always assess and handle it accordingly.
How to Make a Successful Water Leak Insurance Claim Guide
Water leaks can cause serious damage to your home. If you act quickly and follow the right steps, your insurance should cover most of the cost. Many claims are denied because homeowners do not follow the correct process. This guide will help you avoid common mistakes and boost your chances of a successful insurance claim.
What Does ‘Escape of Water’ Mean?
“Escape of water” is the term insurers use for leaks that come from inside your home like a burst pipe, leaking washing machine, faulty water tank, or a central heating issue.
According to the Association of British Insurers (ABI)
-
1 in 4 home insurance claims are due to water leaks.
-
Over 80% are caused by burst or leaking pipes.
-
Kitchens and bathrooms are the most affected, but hidden pipes can leak into any part of your property.
Steps to Make a Water Leak Insurance Claim
1. Act Fast and Document Everything
Turn off your water supply if needed, and take photos or videos of the damage. Record what has been affected such as walls, ceilings, flooring, furniture, etc.
2. Contact Your Insurer
Get in touch with your insurance company as soon as possible. Have your policy number ready, and be prepared to list any damaged items. Most insurers will send you a form or link to upload evidence.
3. Arrange a Trace and Access Investigation
If you can not see where the leak is coming from, you will need a Trace & Access service. Leak detection specialists use tools like
-
Thermal imaging
-
Moisture meters
-
Tracer gas
-
Acoustic testing
-
Borescope cameras
This helps locate the leak without tearing up your home. Only proceed with invasive work like opening floors or walls once your insurer approves it.
4. Prepare for a Loss Adjuster Visit
If the claim is large, your insurer may send a loss adjuster. Their job is to inspect the damage, check your policy coverage, and estimate repair costs. While they work for the insurer, they are expected to be neutral.
Tip - Be present during the visit and provide all evidence you’ve collected.
5. Get Reinstatement Quotes
Reinstatement is the repair work needed after the leak plastering, painting, flooring, etc. You may need
-
Quotes from trusted local tradespeople
-
A scope of work from a surveyor for major jobs
Your insurer might suggest using their preferred contractors, but you have the right to choose your own.
Summary
Key Tips for a Successful Claim
✅ Report the leak quickly
✅ Document all damage
✅ Use professional leak detection
✅ Get insurer approval before major work
✅ Keep all receipts and quotes
✅ Know your rights when choosing contractors
Flood Damage
Causes, Risks & How to Stay Safe
Flooding causes thousands of home and business emergencies every year across the UK. Leading to billions in insurance payouts. Are you at risk? Here is how you can protect your property and stay safe when water strikes.
How to Prevent Flood Damage
✅ Things You SHOULD Do
✔ Insulate pipes in cold areas like lofts, garages, basements.
✔ Install a leak detection system
✔ Get plumbing checked regularly by a professional
❌ Things You MUST Avoid
🚫 Ignoring slow leaks, they cause major mould and damage over time
🚫 Pouring grease down the drain, it clogs pipes and leads to overflows
🚫 Blocking air bricks or drains, these allow floodwater to drain away safely
Top Causes of Flooding in Homes & Businesses
These common issues lead to thousands of insurance claims every year
-
Burst Pipes especially in winter
-
Blocked or Overflowing Drains
-
Appliance Leaks e.g., washing machines, boilers and showers
-
Heavy Rain & Poor Drainage
-
Faulty Gutters or Roofing
The Shocking Cost of Flood Damage
UK insurance companies pay out over £1.3 billion annually due to flood damage from burst pipes to storm related leaks. Also gas leaks during floods can lead to deadly explosions or fires.
The good news? Many disasters are preventable with the right precautions.
✅ Know where your stopcock is
✅ Insulate exposed pipes
✅ Check drainage systems regularly
Floods Not Just a Home Problem
Businesses face major disruption too. In the last 3 years, UK insurers handled over 20,000 commercial flood claims, with an average payout of over £70,000 per business.
What Causes Business Floods?
-
Poor drainage around the building
-
Damaged roofs or gutters
-
Underground pipe failures
-
Faulty HVAC and water systems
📌 Business owners must comply with safety standards including Water Supply Regulations and Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations. Regular inspections can prevent disaster.
When Should You Check Your Plumbing?
1. Homeowners
Inspect pipes annually, especially before winter. Look for signs of corrosion or leaks.
2. Tenants
Ask your landlord for recent plumbing maintenance records.
3. Businesses
Get scheduled plumbing checks and risk assessments.
