Water Supply Pipe Cover
Policy Overview
Water Supply Pipe cover is designed to provide expert assistance for customers who experience a leak on their water supply pipe. As the pipe is underground these types of repairs may be complicated and expensive to fix. The job usually requires some digging to locate the pipe and as only specialist engineers are likely to have the correct equipment, finding someone may be difficult.

- Please see who is eligible to apply within the Summary of Cover.
- What is Effective Cost of Cover?top
- All policies do not normally allow new customers to claim in the first 14 or 28 days (please see individual Summary of Covers for each policy for further details). This is to prevent claims for previously known problems which in turn helps us to keep the annual cost of the policy as low as possible.
- The normal price quoted is for a full year but when we take off the initial no claim period in the first year you get either 11 or 11 ½ months cover. The ECC is therefore the monthly price for the period over which you can claim. It is calculated by dividing the annual premium by either 11 or 11 ½ months based depending on the specific no claim period.
- The no claim period is only applicable to the first year of cover.
