If that’s not possible you can turn your water o by using your stopcock and draining the system. As well as ensuring your pipes are well lagged, you should also check pipework, seals and cisterns for any signs of damage or wear and tear before you leave your home empty. Whether it’s a two-week Burst pipes cause disruption for thousands of homes every year. Following periods of freezing weather, we always receive claims for damage caused by burst pipes. Looking after our pipes might seem like just another thing on our list to worry about but preventing a burst pipe in the rst place is much easier than dealing with the a ermath. ere are simple things we can do to stop our pipes from freezing and causing damage, such as using good quality lagging to insulate pipes in your lo and outside and making sure you know where your stopcock is in case you do have a leak. Following our guidance on preparing your home for winter can put you in the best position to protect your home from water damage from burst pipes. If you’re planning on going away and your home will be empty during the winter holiday for some winter sun, or a weekend visiting friends, it only takes a short period of cold temperatures to cause pipes to freeze and damage from burst pipes often happens when homes are le empty. Also bear in mind, Admiral, like many insurers has a limit on the number of days your home can be unoccupied before conditions apply. It’s a good idea to check your policy documents to make sure you aren’t le without cover.
