What would you do in a plumbing or drainage emergency?

If you are a homeowner, you are responsible for all plumbing and drainage within your home and generally responsible for the drains within your property boundary.

More than 75% of homeowners have experienced a plumbing and drainage emergency at some point (note 1). These problems don’t just happen in the winter – you can be affected at any time of the year.

What’s more, repairs can be expensive, as research shows that 1 in 2 plumbers charge more in the evenings and weekends for an emergency (note 2). It could also be hard to find a qualified tradesman in an emergency.

That’s why we would like to introduce you to HomeServe Membership Ltd who arrange and administer Plumbing & Drainage Cover (note 3). With this cover, you can ensure a hassle-free solution to a plumbing or drainage emergency. Cover your home with a 3 month trial of the policy for £1 (note 4).

In the event of an emergency, just one call to HomeServe will ensure a plumber is dispatched to your home. A HomeServe approved plumber will aim to arrive in 2 hours. Once the job has been completed, simply sign to say you’re satisfied, and the bill will be settled direct, within the cover limits.
