It's a nightmare that undermines the daily lives of many French people: more than a million cases of water damage are reported each year in the country, warns the Home Safety Observatory, figures revealed by Le Parisien. Leaks and infiltrations are even the leading cause of home losses, with 4,160 cases out of 10,820 losses recorded every day on average by France insurers in 2022.
This share “has rather increased over the last 15 years”, points out in our article Christophe Gadouleau, national damage director of the Saretec Group. However, according to the Home Safety Observatory, half of water damage could be avoided by applying a few simple rules, such as regularly checking the condition of the roof and cleaning the gutters, ensuring the maintenance of pipes, but also replace defective seals, among others. You should also “turn off the water supply when you are away for more than 48 hours and avoid running washing machines or dishwashers in your absence,” continues the expert.
