Free water leak shut off device

Water damage resulting from a burst pipe or leaking appliance can be an extremely traumatic event for your clients with the potential for significant damage and lengthy and disruptive repairs. In addition, it’s worth noting that water damage is the most-costly cause of Masterpiece claims in Australia.

One potential solution gaining traction in the Australian market is the installation of an automatic shut-off device to the water mains to help minimise these types of losses. This is designed to limit the amount of water that escapes into a home in the event of a burst pipe or flexi-hose, significantly reducing the risk of resultant damage.

Following on from last year’s campaign, Chubb is excited to announce a new promotional offer to provide a water leak shut off device (supplied by WaterSecure Co under contract with Chubb) free of charge for all new Masterpiece Signature policies bound between 22nd June 2022 and 30th June 2023 (“Promotion Period”).

The Flo Smart Water Shutoff device by WaterSecure Co is connected to the main water supply line and continuously monitors the home’s water pressure, flow rate and temperature running daily health tests to help identify leaks. If a leak is detected, the device can automatically shut off the home’s water to prevent further damage. In addition, the ‘smart’ capability of the device includes an app which allows the home owner via their mobile phone to manage alerts, see how much water is being used and even remotely shut off the water to their home.
