3 reasons you should implement a water leak prevention system

1. Water damage prevention can be cheaper than restoration.  UK insurers are estimated to pay out £1.8m a day for claims relating to escape of water, according to the Association of British Insurers.*  These costs can include replacing damaged fixtures and fittings as well as the cost of business interruption.

2. Its not just the financial costs... There can also be significant intangible costs of water damage, including the potential reputational damage resulting from business interruption.

3. It can support your sustainability initiative by reducing your environmental footprint. Millions of litres of water are leaked on a daily basis in the UK. Often this cannot be recycled or reused for consumption due to the risk of contamination. WINT's leak prevention system can reduce on-going water consumption and wastage by up to 20-25%**, helping you to support environmentally friendly initiatives and sustainability regulations.
