WINT Water Intelligence, which specialises in water management and leak prevention solutions has teamed up with speciality insurer HSB. Under the deal, HSB will distribute WINT’s water management solutions to customers. WINT will provide a performance warranty, backed by HSB, that pays in the event damage occurs from pipe’s monitored by WINT.

Alon Geva, CEO at WINT, said: “Water leaks are a major point of pain across the real estate and construction industry. Water management technology and insurance are complementary two sides of the same coin – solutions that mitigate damage while reducing the real-estate industry’s environmental footprint.”

John B Riggs, chief technology officer and senior vice president of HSB Applied Technology Solutions, added: “Effective water management is increasingly important as the risks and costs of water damage rise. We’re glad to offer our customers WINT’s reliable, scalable solution to help them meet the ongoing challenges of protecting their investments and addressing water sustainability.”
