Water Damage Prevention!

A Few Easy Tips in Keeping your Home Away from Water Damage 

Water damage can be costly so in order to protect yourself from any losses or claims:

1. Clean Gutter and Downsprouts- At least clean your gutters from any blockage twice a year.  Unmanageable overflow may create puddles that could damage the foundation of your home.
2. Maintenance of trees and vegetation- minimize landscaping near utility pipes of if necessary to remove trees and shrubs that have grown too much. Trees roots can wrap around your pips and break them.
3. Check your appliances regularly- Check appliances regularly for leaks according to manufacturers directions.
4. Know your Water Main- Find out the location of your main and shut if off if you leave for an extended amount of time. If no water goes in the house means no faucet drips that can lead to havoc.
