Introduction
Water Escape
Water escape is the unintentional release or leakage of water from plumbing, heating or cooling, and fire sprinkler systems. It is one of the most common and costly causes of property damage losses in Canada. In this course, we’ll explore the causes, implications, and preventative measures you can take to reduce the frequency and severity of water escape events.
The average cost of water damage claims in commercial properties now exceeds $50,000.
Five Main Causes of Water Escape
Water Pressure
02
Age, Abrasion and Corrosion of Pipework
01
Manufacturing Defects and Failure
03
Human Error and Physical Damage
05
Clogged Pipes
04
Five Main Causes of Water Escape:
Age, Abrasion & Corrosion
Aging, deteriorating, weakened pipes
Abrasive materials in the water
Aggressive water with high mineral content
Chemical reactions between the pipe material and water
Exposure to harsh chemicals (e.g. drain cleaners)
Five Main Causes of Water Escape:
Water Pressure
- High water pressure
- Sudden changes in water pressure
Five Main Causes of Water Escape:
Quality & Failure
- Manufacturing defects
- Low-quality materials
Five Main Causes of Water Escape:
Clogged Pipes
Blockages from foreign objects, debris, sediment, or mineral deposits
Five Main Causes of Water Escape:
Human Error & Physical Damage
- Accidental impacts, construction work, or poorly installed plumbing
- Damage from tree roots, earth movement, and structural settling / shifting
Temperature is the root cause leading to escape of water
Standing water in pipes poses a significant risk of freezing, particularly in:
Dry Sprinkler systems
Domestic plumbing pipes
Wet Sprinkler systems
Recent Examples:
Retirement Residence
A defective sprinkler head located in a top floor suite of a retirement residence caused water to be released from the top floor down through to all lower floors.
Staff were not trained in emergency water shut-off procedures Asbestos was found in the building during the restoration operationsResidents had to be displaced for months while the repairs were completed
Recent Examples:
Faith – Heritage Church
A dry pipe sprinkler system located in the attic space of a heritage church burst resulting in significant water damage due to improper draining of the dry sprinkler system.
Water in the sprinkler pipe froze due to extreme cold weather
Sprinkler pipes burst due to frozen water which caused water to flow into the sanctuary below
Recent Examples:
Non-Profit Organization
The boiler piping in a non-profit organization’s building ran through the unheated basement crawlspace.
Corrosion was visible throughout the system which compromised the integrity of the piping leading to a water escape and significant property damage to the finished basement While repairs were underway, asbestos was found, which added to the cost of repairs as well
Key Considerations
It’s important to consider escape of water when:
Renovating property
Purchasing property
Building a new facility
Maintaining/replacing HVAC equipment
Installing a fire sprinkler system
Preparing for winter
When pipes are exposed to cold and hot environments
Approaching an Escape of Water Event
Four main elements to account for:
Recover
Prevent
Prepare
Respond
Prepare
Develop an Emergency Plan for water leaks and consider the following:
Coordinate with professionals such as your plumbing contractor, sprinkler maintenance contractors or technicians, etc.
Provide signage/tags/stickers – indicating the location of all domestic water supply and fire sprinkler systems shut off valves.
Train personnel – to locate and close domestic valves and enlist a qualified plumber for guidance.
Maintain an updated emergency contacts list – for professional contractors, alarm monitoring station, key employees, and insurance broker or company.
Create a building site plan – that indicates the location of all main water shut off valves and isolation valves.
Respond
Take these steps before or during an escape of water event:
Contain the leak to reduce further damage.
Contact a professional – to carefully thaw pipes (if already frozen) to avoid damage or busting.
Contact a professional plumber or fire sprinkler contractor to make necessary repairs.
Turn off water at the buildings main valve if leak cannot be isolated. For sprinkler system leaks, call your sprinkler maintenance contractor and the fire department before closing the valve.
Recovery
Assess the extent of damages to your building and its contents.
Report any losses or possible losses to your insurance broker and/or insurance company.
Start cleanup/remediation to prevent further damages and mold growth.
- Begin drying and cleaning up water damaged areas.
- Remove excess moisture with fans and dehumidifiers.
- Contact a professional for significant damages.
Document damage and take photos for your records.
Prevent
Important preventive measures include:
Install and maintain insulation around pipes and rooms
Provide heating and ventilation in areas that have plumbing and poor insulation
Seal gaps and cracks where there are drafts and cold air leaks (e.g., doors, windows, service penetrations)
Maintain a minimum temperature of 13 degrees Celsius
Avoid using chemical drain cleaners
Prevent
Configure the fire sprinkler system (wet or dry) appropriately for the environment.
Heat sources can cause accidental discharge
Damaged sprinkler heads or leaking pipes can result from incorrect installation, direct impact or corrosion/rust of pipes and heads, and from poor maintenance standards and procedures
Pipes can rupture from freezing
Preventing Future Escape of Water Events
Schedule regular maintenance, plumbing inspections, and prompt repairs at the first sign of an issue (i.e. stains, dampness/moisture, dripping, running water).
Check functionality of all thermostats.
Use quality piping and fixtures to prevent leaks and failures commonly found with cheaper, low quality products.
Use a professional plumber for installation and repairs.
Use a glycol/water solution for hot water heating systems and fire sprinkler systems in cold environments to prevent freeze ups.
Additional Precautions for Reducing Losses
Request certificates of insurance from all contractors in advance of any work to be completed and have your organization listed as an additional insured on the contractor’s certificate of insurance.
01
Discuss with your broker what the minimum limit of commercial general liability insurance carried by any contractor should be for the type of work being carried out at your facilities.
02
Install floor drains in areas that can reduce damage and direct water flow away from places that could flood (e.g., kitchens, bathrooms).
03
Regularly check and replace connections as needed on appliances such as coffee machines, refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers.
04
04
Use motion-activated facets to reduce the risk of being left open and overfilling.
05
Devices to Consider
Consider purchasing or installing the following devices:
Active leak detection
- These trigger an automatic water supply shut off and are great for occupied or unoccupied facilities
- Can be connected to a fire alarm panel and monitoring station
Passive leak detection
- These are placed on the floor for large facilities that are occupied 24/7 (e.g., retirement facility)
- Battery operated with an audible alarm
A monitored pressure regulator to prevent high water pressure
