SMART DEVICE COULD MEAN POTENTIAL NEW INCOME OF £2,500+ FOR PLUMBERS
An estimated half a million UK households suffer burst pipes every year, that’s one every sixty three seconds, good news for plumbers but not so great for the residents involved. Now a new product designed to limit the damage a water leak can cause, could provide plumbers with a new and significant income in excess of £2,500 a year* while offering consumers real peace of mind.
Retailing for around £60, Pipe Guard isolates the water supply when an abnormal flow is detected. It’s compact, easy to fit and extremely reliable, making it ideal for plumbers to keep in their standard toolkit. While it won’t stop the cause of the leak, which will still need to be fixed by a plumber, it will significantly limit the resultant damage.
As every plumber knows it’s not just burst pipes which cause water damage to property; appliance failure, accidental damage and poor installation all mean the estimated figure of half a million households affected each year could be much higher, so there’s no doubt that a product like Pipe Guard is needed.
Luke Brown inventor of the product and former insurance loss adjuster knows first hand the misery caused by water damage and sees Pipe Guard as a real opportunity for plumbers. He says: “Those in the trade know the devastation water damage causes but many homeowners never consider the implications till it happens to them. It’s not just the cost of repairs either; the drying out process and the emotional trauma of losing personal possessions, some of them irreplaceable, can be hard to accept.”
As a plumbing professional, offering Pipe Guard not only increases your own income but provides another service to customers, one which they may not have considered. As Luke Brown adds; “No one wants their home ruined, so why take the chance? Pipe Guard can be fitted now.”
Available for 15mm and 22mm installations, the device is suitable for all types of property from large detached houses to small apartments.
End users will find Pipe Guard extremely reliable and it doesn’t need mains power to operate. It’s simple to programme and has five settings to suit low to high levels of water consumption. There’s a secondary but significant benefit for customers with a water meter too. Tests reveal Pipe Guard’s unique flexi-valve system, could save up to 7% on water bills so the device could quickly pay for itself.
