Avoid Springing a leak this March!

03 March 2023 11:27

It might be March, but there’s still time for our homes and business to Spring a leak with a drop in temperatures.

The return of some wintery weather is a timely reminder to protect your home against the damage burst pipes can cause.

There are simple steps you can carry out to ‘Beat the Freeze’.  These include knowing where your stop-valve is and keeping the contact number of a registered plumber on hand to deal with any bursts or leaks on your property.

The devastation caused by burst pipes cannot be underestimated.  Not only can the water cause structural damage to a property, but the lasting damage in a home can be to personal items, including photographs and electrical equipment such as tablets, iPads and laptops, that may be irreplaceable.

On a wider scale, if you imagine the impact of thousands of litres of water pouring out of burst water pipes, any water distribution network would struggle to maintain continuity of supply in those circumstances.  Insulating your pipework is an essential action to protect your water supply and that of your neighbours.

The advice is simple – Spring into action and make sure your property is well protected! For more information, please see our website, https://www.niwater.com/winter-proof-your-home/
