3 Causes of Water Damage to your Home
- Washing and Dishwashing Appliances. To avoid a water damage do not run when you are not home! Unfortunately, this is a common water damage that our crews are called to clean up. You load your washing machine with laundry and go to work. When you get home there is an issue with the machine such as an overflow, broke water line, etc. and water is all over your floor. Since you are not home you were not able to shut of the machine or the water to stop the spreading of the water throughout your entire home. If you are home and this happens, stop the water from the appliances and clean up the spillage right away.
- Showers and bathtubs are another major source of water damage from pipe-breaks and running faucet bathtub overflows. It is important to fix any broken tiles, old grouting or caulking around your bathtub to ensure any water damage. Another secondary damage is mold growth if you do not fix this issue.
- Toilets are probably the leading cause of water damage. It is important to only flush toilet paper. Do not flush paper towels, actual towels, baby wipes, tampons, diapers, or anything else that is not flushable. It is important to check the water lines behind the toilet to make sure that they have not worn, cracked, and properly attached.
