5 Tips To Prevent Water Damage In Your Home
June 27th, 2008
I used to work with a woman who came home from vacation to find the first floor of her home flooded. The tap where the water turns on to the washing machine had broken in their absence. The washing machine was on the second floor of her home; so two floors were flooded.
One of the repairmen advised to always turn off the water to the washing machine when you are away from home for any length of time. Have you ever know of someone this problem has happened to?
Want to know the top 5 sources of water damage in homes?
•Toilet. Don’t over stuff with tissue, and know where the shutoff valve is located.
•Washing machine hose. Make sure it is properly connected.
•Water heater. Maintain it properly
•Ice maker. Check the supply line for leaks or blockages every six months
•Tub and Shower. Maintain caulking to prevent leaks
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound—Oh, I can’t remember what, that’s going to drive me crazy. (If you know the rest of this saying, please comment and let me know).
