Legal And General report that in the UK alone during 2011, water damage caused through leaks and floods in homes, has cost the Insurance Industry an estimated 730 Million pounds.

Much of this cost will be passed onto the customer through higher premiums, and higher excess rates.

Whilst an exceptional winter at the beginning of the year was responsible for a higher than usual amount of water damage claims, many of those claims were avoidable had the customer known where their stop cock was located, and how to securely shut down the mains water supply.

What Goes Wrong?

• Many tenants are unaware of their Stop Cocks location. In the case of a major incident, this means water could be leaking for hours until a plumber arrives.

• Quite often the Stop Cock is located in a difficult to reach place and for the elderly or disabled, this can be impossible to reach.

• Stop Cocks often sit for many years untouched and during this time can seize and become ineffective. A seized Stop Cock can add hours to the amount of time a leak is allowed to flow before it can be shut down

• Leaks can occur at any time and can happen whilst a home is empty or whilst a tenant is away on holiday. A leak could go unnoticed for many days causing thousands of pounds worth of damage to your property.

• Calling a plumber or the water board to attend an emergency leak can be costly and quite often can take several hours before they are able to attend.

 

The Solution

• Sure Stop is a  simple to use switch that when pressed instantly shuts off the water.

• Designed to look like a household light switch, Sure Stop can be operated with the press of a finger.

• Sure Stop is remote control so can be located in an easily accessible place such as a kitchen wall, above a work top or in a convenient cupboard.

• Sure Stop works on pressure only so does not require any electrical wiring or any batteries.

• Installing a Sure Stop Switch means the water can be shut down whenever the property is left empty for any period of time, such as going to work or going on holiday.

• If a leak occurs, Sure Stop shuts down the water instantly minimizing any damage to yours or your neighbours property whilst your tenant waits for help to arrive.

• Sure Stop provides your tenants with peace of mind and provides you with the knowledge that in the event of a leak, the damage and cost can be minimized instantly with just the press of a button.
