Most properties in the UK are designed with a systemic risk of internal flooding when the property experiences a burst pipe or failed fitting – causing over £ 1billion of damage each year, along with the disruption of homeowners plus environmental impact.
At the heart of the systemic issue is the design of the mains water system having a manual stopcock separating the internal water system and the external mains supply. As a manual stopcock is invariably left open( and often seized up) it leaves the property vulnerable to catastrophic water damage in the event of a burst pipe or failed fitting. In fact damage caused by internal escape of water has been increasing over the past decade and now makes up for over 25 % of all home insurance claims *.
Developers and homeowners can protect their property by installing an automatic stopcock that monitors the water flow in a property and terminates the mains supply in the event of a flood risk.
