Insurer issues warning after huge claim caused by burst frozen pipes
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it."
The Independent reports on reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, deploying reporters on the ground and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet solicits donations to fund on-the-ground journalism and maintains free access by avoiding paywalls, relying on support from readers who can afford to contribute. Insurers warn homeowners about burst frozen pipes after Allianz UK disclosed 20 million pounds in payouts for damage between January 2023 and September 2025. Allianz processed 345 claims, including a 566,000 incident where a four-bedroom house suffered extensive damage while its owner was abroad. Insurers advise keeping heating low and insulating lofts, pipes and water tanks to prevent freezing.
