Escape of Water and Fluid Leakage Checklist

This Aviva-aligned property protection checklist helps owners and facilities managers prevent escape of water and other fluid leak incidents. It guides a formal risk assessment, highlights high-risk and business-critical areas (e.g., risers, IT rooms, unoccupied spaces), and covers system drawings, valve access and labelling, and emergency contact planning. Practical checks include compliance with water fitting regulations, materials compatibility, restrictions on push-fit connectors, inspection and maintenance programs, leak detection in critical zones, and controls for boosted systems. It also addresses weather-related risks, freezing prevention, AC condensate, underfloor heating, segregation of services, and procedures during contractor works or vacancy.
