Investigation of Water Escape Claims

Physical damage as a result of water losses can cost building users and owners upwards of a million pound per year, as all businesses across all industries depend on sophisticated equipment to ensure business continuity. It is estimated that insurers are paying out around £2 million every day for water escape claims.

Water escape is one of the significant risks faced by most properties. In addition to the severe damage that can arise from water escape, the exact source can be difficult to determine because water from leaks travels in the walls of a building, undetected for long durations until in some case catastrophic failure occurs.

The presenter will look at a number of investigations in detail involving fluid escapes in relation to defects in material, installation and design in all types of fluid distribution systems in buildings.

The webinar will look at various types of fluid escapes, including water, cooling fluid and biocide.
