Relax in your home with water supply insurance

Relax in your home with water supply insurance

After a hard day at work, how do you like to relax? For much of the nation, there's nothing more comforting than settling down to a warming cup of tea after arriving home from the office, especially when temperatures plunge in the bleak mid-winter. Meanwhile, while our partner is getting on with the washing up downstairs, many of us enjoy a long soak in the bath to unwind and wash away the stresses and the strains of the day, perhaps with some soothing music and a glass of wine.

If some or all of the above sounds like your idea of a nice night in, consider how difficult it could be without a water supply. If sorting out this type of problem sounds like a serious headache, it needn't be if you've got water supply insurance in place. This type of insurance covers you in the event of a problem with the pipe which brings water to your home.

Generally speaking, there are two portions to this pipe the part which you are responsible for maintaining, which runs from your stop tap to your property boundary, and the part which is the responsibility of the water company. If the blockage or leak occurs in your part of the pipe, in many cases you will be liable for sorting out a repair. This can be a expensive thing to shell out for, meaning getting water pipe insurance could be a smart move

With this type of cover in place, you can claim up to 3,000 to deal with the problem, along with 500 towards the permanent reinstatement of grounds around your home which may have needed to be dug up during the repair, including concrete, tarmac, block paving or grass. Meanwhile, if you're forced to stay in a hotel as a result of the work, up to 500 of your bill will be covered if your property was left completely without water and the pipe could not be repaired or replaced on the same day.

While you're getting on with your busy life, it's unlikely you've give much thought to your water supply pipe and the important job it carries out every day in delivering water for washing, cooking and cleaning in your home. But the fact is, when there's a problem with it, many of us are lost and it's true what they say: you really don't know what you've got till it's gone!
