The most common causes of damages done to homes are due to water.
Water damage can be very annoying to home owners financially, as the cost of
repairing them can be very expensive. Water damage doesn't only occur during
the rains, but can also happen on a bright sunny day, whether it’s a leaking
toilet, tap, water heater or washing machine. However, you can prevent these
problems by referring to the steps below.
Inspect your homes
Before the rainy season begins, make sure you check your roof -
there could be a possibility of leakage. And if the roof has minor problems
like broken tiles or other damages, make sure you get it fixed. Even a minor
problem can lead to bigger issues. Your roofs are not the only places that
should be checked; even your doors and windows must be checked. If you notice
water entering through your doors and windows, get them checked or repaired
immediately.
Check your plumbing and appliances
Weak plumbing can even lead to your homes getting flooded, so
check them at least once in 3 months. If there are any weak rusted spots in the
pipes, make sure you change them. Your appliances can also act as water damage
agents - like your washing machines, dishwashers or water heaters. Check for
any leakage from your appliances and repair it before it becomes a bigger
problem.
Install Water Shutoff Valves
Install water shutoff valves on water lines under your sinks,
toilets and other water lines as a home security system, so that you can shut
of the valves if there is any leakage.
Ensure your homes are Ventilated
Always make sure your homes are
well ventilated, or water problems may occur - in the form of condensation.
Condensation mostly occurs during the cold weather. Always make sure your room
is well ventilated, even if it’s just a little .This helps reduce the
Condensation in the room. Condensation can cause development of mold on your
doors and windows. The ventilation will help prevent this.
