The list includes problems commonly associated with water damage, including faulty or corroded domestic appliances and DIY mishaps such as catching pipes with a nail, Other more unusual causes revealed include the fallout from broken aquariums, which usually crack and spill out their contents shortly after being moved, along with blocked guttering.

Leaks from frozen water pipes in the roof space are also listed, which was the most common cause of damage in the home in last winter's cold snap. DisasterCare Platinum has compiled the list, after carrying out extensive research from water damaged homes across the UK.
