The escape of water can have a devastating impact on your home.

In the event of an escape of water you should:-

• Turn off the water supply by closing the stopcock or the main valve

• Call a plumber to attend your property to carry out any emergency repairs

• Try to prevent water from spreading

• Carefully remove your works of art and any other valuable items to a dry environment. Be careful when moving artworks damaged by water - works on paper become incredibly fragile when wet.
