Preventing Water Damage In Your Home or Business

Periodically check for leaks under your sink where the hose connects to the water supply. If your refrigerator has an ice maker line, make sure the water supply line is securely attached and not crimped. Look around the base of appliances for evidence of leaks, such as discolored, warped, or soft flooring materials, or water damage to nearby cabinets.

Remove and replace deteriorated or cracked caulk and grout. Water from a broken water supply pipe behind the wall can leak through these damaged sealants, causing stains or soft areas around nearby walls and floors.

Check washing machine hoses regularly for bulging, cracking, fraying and leaks around hose ends. Replace the hose if a problem is found or every 3 to 5 years as part of a proactive maintenance program.

Install battery-operated backup sump pump to protect against power failure. Test the sump pump before the start of each wet season. Sump pumps are not intended to last for more than 10 years and must have some components replaced or serviced within those 10 years.

Keep the roof free from leaves, twigs, and other litter to allow for proper drainage.

Make sure air can flow freely through soffit and roof vents. Then check your attic around flues, plumbing vents and chimneys for roof leaks, especially if you noticed water stains on your ceilings.

Completely disconnect your garden hose from hose bib prior to the cold season.
