Home cover
Plumbing and drainage cover
Keep the household running when a pipe bursts or a drain blocks. An engineer, a helpline that answers at any hour, and no repair bill to find.
Plumbing and drainage cover responds to emergencies from a burst pipe to a blocked drain. It includes a helpline that is open around the clock, so a problem at midnight is dealt with rather than waited out.
It removes the worry of a large, unexpected repair bill for the parts of the home nobody thinks about until they fail.
This cover can only be purchased as an add-on to a home or landlord insurance policy arranged through WeSure.

Good to know
Plumbing and drainage questions
What is plumbing and drainage cover?
Insurance for emergencies in the pipes and drains you are responsible for, from a burst pipe to an obstruction in a drain, with an engineer sent to fix it.
Why is plumbing and drainage cover worth having?
A burst pipe or blocked drain is disruptive and expensive to fix at short notice. The cover pays for the repair and gets someone to you quickly.
Is there a time limit for reporting a problem?
Yes. Emergencies must be reported within 48 hours of discovery, so call the helpline as soon as you notice a problem.
Why choose WeSure for home cover?
Because the cover we arrange is an insurance policy, arranged through a firm regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, rather than a maintenance agreement. That means clear terms, a complaints route and a claims helpline.
Can I buy this on its own?
No. Each of these covers is an add-on to a home or landlord insurance policy arranged through us. If you do not yet have a policy with us, ask for a home insurance quote and we will add the cover you want.
