8 Ways to Prevent & Prepare for Water Damage

Water damage can strike unexpectedly, causing significant property damage and stress. By taking proactive steps, you can reduce your chances of experiencing water damage.

Here’s a checklist of preventive measures:

• Install a Smart Shut Off Valve. A smart shut-off valve automatically detects leaks and shuts off your main water supply.
• Turn Off the Water Before Vacation. Before leaving for an extended period, turn off your home’s water supply to avoid any surprises while you’re away.
• Routinely Inspect Visible Pipes. Regularly check exposed pipes for signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks. Catching leaks early can prevent more extensive damage.
• Check Appliance Hoses (Water Supply Lines). Inspect the hoses connected to appliances like washing machines and dishwashers. Replace any that show signs of cracking or wear.
• Check Your Sump Pump. Test your sump pump periodically to ensure it’s functioning correctly, especially before heavy rain or snowmelt.
• Fix Leaks Immediately. Don’t delay repairs if you notice a leak, no matter how small. Fixing leaks right away can prevent major problems.
• Clean Gutters and Downspouts. Keep gutters and downspouts clear of debris to ensure water flows properly. Clogged gutters can lead to foundation issues and roof leaks.

Would you like some peace of mind? Taking these precautionary measures will help you safeguard your home against water damage.
