5 easy tips to prevent Water Damage

Knowing water damage warning signs in and around your home, can help you avoid big repair bills as well as time and trouble at a later date. 

1. Be careful where you plant: Some plants and trees have pretty invasive roots. If you’re not careful, they’ll grow right into your sprinkler system, drainage field, pipes and septic tanks. Plan before you plant, to keep roots away from water lines.

2. Clean out roof gutters: Every Sunday, check out your gutters. If you’re seeing lots of leaves, bird nests and sticks, your gutters may not be doing the job you hired them for. And on a rainy day, a clogged gutter can send water spilling into your home’s foundation, through the roof, or down to your basement. That could cause some serious water damage! 


3. Keep an eye on your water bill: With so many water pipes hidden behind walls and under floors in your house, you might not know there’s a leak, until the damage is done. That’s why it’s a good idea to keep a close eye on your monthly water bill.

4. Use a Drain Snake instead of unclogging chemicals: No matter how crazy clean you are, from your shower to your kitchen sink, clogs are bound to occur. And, chances are at some point in your life you’ve used one of those powerful chemical drain cleaners to get things moving again. But as convenient as they may be, most people do not realize that those caustic chemicals are also eating away at the pipes. Use a Drain Snake instead of harmful chemicals.

5. Never pour grease down your sink: You should definitely avoid pouring grease down your kitchen sink. It doesn’t matter if you flush it with hot or cold water. It can still cling to your pipes, and could cause some serious damage and blockage.
