Dealing with Water Damage

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.

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.
