With costs rising for lots of us, you’d be justified for not wanting to spend your hard-earned cash on drainage and plumbing cover. But, in this article, we’ll show you why it’s an investment worth making.
What is drainage and plumbing cover?
This is an additional type of insurance that homeowners and landlords can purchase. It covers the plumbing at your property in the case of an emergency such as a burst pipe or blocked drain.
Some drainage and plumbing covers will insure against different types of damage so it’s important to check what’s included. Many offer protection against the most common plumbing emergencies, including leaking and burst pipes, blocked toilets, and leaks or blockages in the water supply pipe to your property.
What are the benefits of drainage and plumbing cover?
-Better repairs: When you get cover from an expert, you’ll know that the repairs recommended are the best option, and as cost-effective and non-invasive as possible. So if you have blocked drains and need drain lining Gloucester, for example, you won’t have to worry about the cost.
-Money saving: Purchasing drainage and plumbing cover has an initial cost but this is far outweighed by the expense of dealing with an emergency yourself. CheckATrade reported, in February 2023, that the average emergency call-out fee for a plumber was £100, and that’s before you pay for parts and labour
-Time-saving: If you face a plumbing emergency, you’ll want to resolve the issue quickly. Having drainage cover means you won’t need to find a qualified plumber or frantically google ‘drain lining in Gloucester’. Instead, your insurer will take care of it for you so you can concentrate on the important things.
-Less disruption: If you need to make a claim, you can rest assured that your drainage cover will mean that your plumbing issue is resolved as quickly as possible. That means there’s less disruption to you, and your tenants if you have a rental property.
For all of these reasons and more, drainage and plumbing cover can be a great investment.
