Escape of Water
Extensive damage may be caused to your home through incidents involving an escape of water. Although incidents may stem from a number of problems, there is one principal culprit:
- Burst pipes - following the thaw after pipes have become frozen during a cold snap in the winter time.
- Burst pipes: - According to an article in the Readers Digest, the escape of water from a burst pipe may flood your home at the alarming rate of 400 litres an hour.
The obvious solution to preventing such an escape of water from a burst pipe is to prevent the pipe from freezing and rupturing in the first place.
This means careful and extensive lagging of all water pipes and storage tanks, paying especially close attention to bends, joints and fittings. Since you are likely to have spent some time and effort insulating your loft, any exposed pipework in the roof space needs to be separately lagged.
Within your home, aim to maintain an ambient temperature of at least 10 degrees centigrade in every room and keep the central heating boiler at this setting even if you are planning to be away from home for a while.
TESTIMONIAL
Thank you for the lovely house that you have turned Station Road into. We are going to have a house warming party when it gets a little warmer and I will send an invitation to you. (Francine)
Francois, you have been absolutely outstanding. Your whole manner of meeting us right from the start, throughout and at the end of the repair works has been nothing but incredible. You organised a team of workers to carry out so many different repairs, thus taking the pressure and stress off of Andrew and myself trying to get individual builders in. So much appreciated, I have a job to put it into words. You organised painting and decorating, plumbers and carpenters, electricians and flooring specialist , organising replacements for damaged kitchen cupboards. The property was cleaned at the end to a very high standard meaning we will be moving back to a very clean, lovely looking home thanks to you. Words are not enough to say but Andrew and myself are deeply grateful and extremely happy with everything you have done and please convey this to all your wonderful team. You have made our move back something to look forward to and that is wonderful. (Susan)
