The following points will help you to reduce the risk of water damage to your home and possessions.
- Stop taps are very important. They control the flow of water into your home. You need to make sure that you know where your stop tap is in your home.
- This will help you if you have a leak.
- Most stop taps are fitted in the bathroom or kitchen, for example below a kitchen sink.
We recommend that you turn off your water supply each year to test that your stop tap is in good working order. If you have any problems with your mains stop tap DeWAR would be delighted to help.
