Watergate and Plum Underwriting partner to offer enhanced protection for holiday homeowners

Partnership uses latest technology to help holiday homeowners protect vulnerable properties from water leaks

Watergate, the innovative water leak detection and prevention company, today announces a new partnership with Plum Underwriting, a leading specialist home MGA, which is part of Brown & Brown Europe. The partnership will see Plum Underwriting recommending Watergate’s cutting-edge Sonic leak detector to customers insuring their holiday homes and short-term let properties.

Meeting Customer Needs

Holiday homeowners often face challenges in securing affordable insurance due to the high-risk nature of their properties. With holiday homes frequently left unoccupied, the risk of water leaks and subsequent damage is significantly higher. Water leaks can lead to extensive damage and costly repairs.

A Safer Solution

Through this partnership, customers will benefit from enhanced protection and peace of mind. Watergate’s Sonic leak detector utilises advanced technology to detect leaks early, preventing potential damage and reducing insurance claims. Watergate Sonic’s remote shut-off functionality can turn off water automatically, the second it detects a leak.

Plum Underwriting customers will benefit from a discount of up to 10% on the retail price of Watergate Sonic. In some circumstances, they can also apply for a discount on their home insurance premium to reflect the fact they have lowered the risk of an escape of water claim.

Customer-Centric Approach

“We are thrilled to partner with Plum Underwriting and bring our technology to their customers,” said Krystian Zajac, CEO and founder of Watergate. “This collaboration reflects our commitment to providing practical solutions that address real challenges faced by holiday homeowners. By using our Sonic leak detector, customers can protect their properties more effectively and potentially secure better insurance terms.”

“Plum Underwriting is dedicated to offering our customers the best possible protection for their properties. By partnering with Watergate, we can provide a proactive solution to mitigate the risks associated with water leaks,” said Daniel Berry, Chief Underwriting Officer at Plum Underwriting. “This partnership ensures that our customers can benefit from advanced technology that helps safeguard their holiday homes and gives them peace of mind.”
