Escape of Water
Escape of Water relates to leaks emanating from water pipes, tanks, appliances or apparatus. Guernsey is renowned for water leaks due to the variety in plumbing components/installations over the years and hard water. The resultant damage is typically quite severe, especially for ‘pin-hole’ leaks that operate over a gradual period of time, unnoticed to the policyholder. In addition, dependent on what water source is leaking, the damage caused can be contaminated by what is deemed ‘grey’ water (foul) or ‘black’ water (sewage). Each of these classifications of water damage necessitate different levels of repair.
- Quick damage assessments to pinpoint affected areas
- Moisture mapping and drying feasibility analysis
- Scope of works specifying what can be cleaned, repaired and/or replaced.
