Burst Pipes And Boiler Cover

Its a nightmare scenario; you come home after a long trip or a holiday only to find

that the pipes have burst and everythings soaked! Frost or drying can make the situation even worse, and you may have to replace everything in the house.

If you spend a long time away from a property, especially during the winter, you need to take precautions. As weather conditions get worse, so does the risk of your pipes freezing up and bursting in the cold. Its more important than ever to make sure that your pipes are safely insulated and that youre making sure the house is heated properly- even when its unoccupied.

If you have a property that spends a long time empty such as a second home, holiday home or leased property then you should keep an eye out for leaky taps. Also, most room thermostats and radiators should have a special frost setting marked with a snowflake, but these dont always prevent your pipes from freezing.

If your pipes do burst, its not just an emergency; its an expensive emergency. Even a small pipe rupture can leak huge amounts of water and cause damage on average costing 25,000. A burst pipe or ruptured boiler might cost you in excess of 100,000 in damage to the building and contents, and might render your home temporarily uninhabitable.

With such a hefty cost, its important that youve got a robust home and contents insurance policy. A good policy will cover various emergencies like plumbing failure, pest infestations or roofing damage. That way you can be sure that no matter what happens, youll be protected. You should also make sure your boiler and central heating is regularly serviced and monitored, so any potential problems can be identified and addressed early on.

If youre still looking for home emergency insurance or central heating maintenance, CCPs home emergency cover provides cover for a range of home emergencies , and the Gas Central Heating Protection plan provides unlimited parts and labour, unlimited callouts and an annual boiler service. Both are available online at a competitive monthly rate.

Remember, if you take the proper precautions you shouldnt need the cover. But the expense of an insurance plan is nothing compared to the cost of home repair.
