How to Prevent Spring Water Damage

Water damage can occur to your home, regardless of whether it is a small spill or a major outflow.

  1. Leaks should not be left to chance. Make sure they are fixed as soon as possible.
  2. If you require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. It is not possible for these issues to be resolved on their own.
  3. Regularly test your sump pump. During periods of stormy weather, this task should be performed at least once a year.
  4. You should clean your gutters twice a year. Standing water can be created when debris accumulates in the gutters and damages the roof as a result. Make sure that downspouts are secured and directed away from your home’s foundation.
  5. It is necessary to replace the old washing machine hoses. Your home can be destroyed by old, brittle hoses.
  6. Use a water pressure gauge from the hardware store to test your water pressure. A high water pressure can cause pipes to burst.
  7. Be sure to keep an eye on your water utility bill. You may not be aware of a leak, but sudden spikes in your utility bill can reveal the issue.
