Stop the damage caused by burst and leaking water pipes and protect your property, house, apartment or small business.
The Waterguard Home system monitors the time in which water flows through your supply resetting each time the flow is stopped. The home owner sets a maximum time for water to flow continuously. When this is reached, Waterguard Home automatically activates the stop valve cutting off the water supply into the property. Two guard levels (LOW for building occupied and HI for building unoccupied) enable you to switch easily between the recommended 25 minutes and 1 minute allowances of water flow. These time periods can be adjusted to suit the owner’s needs with the option to completely cut off the water supply by selecting 0 minutes when unoccupied.

The language free controller makes using the Waterguard Home System simple. Located conveniently for easy access, once set the unit requires no further attention.
Once your Waterguard Home system has been installed and the guard levels set (HI guard = unoccupied, LOW guard = occupied) you can relax and forget all about it as it protects your home. If your property is fitted with an intruder alarm, the guard levels can be switched in line with the alarm settings, otherwise you can simply push the button on the conveniently located remote display to alternate between the two.

Loved items can never be replaced; lost time can never be restored. Therefore it makes sense to put in place preventative measures at a fraction of the cost of an escape of water claim. With winters becoming more extreme and water leaks from burst pipes more common, property managers, building service engineers and caretakers are turning to our range of water leak detection equipment to protect against water leak damage.

In 2010 371,000 such claims were made averaging a cost of just under £2,000 each, in December alone 103,000 of these claims were made for burst pipe damage at an estimated cost of £680 million.

The cost of fitting a Waterguard Water Leak Prevention system is often less than the excess to be paid before your insurer pays out. With many insurers insisting on water leak prevention in order to fully provide home owners and contents insurance and others offering lower excess premiums, it is financially advantageous at this time to compare home insurance asking your insurance provider about water leak detection today.

Contractors’ All Risk
Insurers’ loss experience shows that water damage continues to be the most prevalent cause of claims on construction sites. Not only is escape of water responsible for more claims than any other cause, the total cost of such claims, in terms of physical damage and the impact of project delays, currently exceeds the value of any other loss category (including fire).
The reasons for this are many and varied but include: the use of inexperienced and untrained personnel; poor ‘quality assurance’ and inadequate testing regimes; a preponderance of new and innovative plumbing systems; the increase in high rise developments and vulnerable fit-out works; and inadequate post-loss mitigation and emergency response plans.
Insurers first attempted to address this problem in 2008 with the publication of the CIREG (Construction Insurance Risk Engineers Group) guidance document, ‘The Avoidance of Water Damage on Construction Sites’ which is currently (2019) in its fifth iteration. The guidance addresses all stages of a construction project from design right through to post-incident mitigation. The guide is free to download at http://cireg.org/library.htm.

Whereas the primary objective will always be to avoid the incident happening in the first place it is also recognised that, no matter how good the site management, not all water leaks can be prevented and that detecting a leak early is absolutely key to reducing the scale of damage and the duration of any project delay. Hence water management devices have a key role to play in the rapid detection and early isolation of water leaks and are a significant weapon in all Contractors’ risk management armouries.
It is also important to appreciate that many Insurers are now reluctant to provide cover for water damage incidents or will impose large excesses unless suitable (and demonstrable) risk management procedures are in place. The installation, and appropriate programming and management, of such devices is seen by most Insurers as good evidence that the issue is understood and being effectively addressed.

We design water leak detection and prevention devices for the whole life of a building from construction (including temporary water supplies) through to commissioning and occupation. Our Series 7 WAT02 and WAT03 systems are easy to operate and comply fully with BREEAM providing internal and major water leak prevention. Our Waterguard SiteGuard was designed specifically for temporary water supplies, automatically isolating them outside of working hours. Automatic isolation and offsite alerts are available for all our systems via our DataCom; text alert service.
No two sites are the same so therefore we project manage every site working with each contractor or risk manager through every stage of construction. For further information or to discuss a certain project please call 01226 244200 to speak with a dedicated expert.
