Thread: Tips To Avoid Water Damage To Your Home

When water damage strikes, there is nothing you can do but call for help. However, you can avoid water damage by following these simple and easy to remember steps and keep your home safe and well maintained.

1. Make sure you disconnect hoses as standing water in a tube tends to create an ice block that either stops the water flow or bursts the pipe, thereby damaging your walls and floor.

2. Ensuring your gutter is cleaned twice a week to avoid blockage.

3. Minimize landscaping(removing trees and shrubs) near the pipes

4. Following the manufacturer's directions and keeping a check o the appliances periodically to avoid havoc.

5. Install a water detector that detects low moisture levels and leaks that usually go unnoticed.

6. Do not ignore moisture damage and get help from a professional and reliable company case. You don't follow the instructions above!

Great and helpful tips. Thanks for sharing.

Very helpful tips. Thanks for sharing. In fact, these tips are not empty words but really important steps and measures to ensure that there is no water damage at home in the future. In fact, I have always been so neutral about such things. I thought that the gutters did not need to be cleaned. They somehow do this by themselves. But I was very wrong. The realization that the gutters didn't clean themselves when the whole wall started to get moldy. The gutters were clogged with debris, and all the water flowed down the wall. Only then did I turn to Gutter Cleaning Atlanta. The guys cleaned all the gutters. After, I had to make repairs and clean up traces of mold. It was a great lesson for me.
