How to prevent burst pipes and what to do when pipes freeze or burst

Most claims that occur at holiday homes are caused by water damage, either a burst pipe, ingress of water due to storm damage to the roof, or flooding. Since the insurance policy covers loss of rental income, it is in the Underwriters interest to effect repairs quickly, thereby reducing the loss of income claim.

There are several precautions that holiday homeowners can take to prevent burst pipes during unoccupancy - from draining the water and heating system to leaving your heating on. Having a key holder check your property regularly can also reduce the extent of damage caused. This advice on what to do when pipes freeze or burst should also help.

Don't neglect your property - as a policyholder you have a responsibility to take due care and reasonable steps to prevent loss or damage.
