Can Water Damage Happen to You?

Can water damage happen to you? The answer is yes. About 37% of all households in the US have experienced damage caused by water. Broken or burst pipes, leaking roofs, back pressure and storms are just a few ways water can damage your home. It is nearly impossible to safeguard against all forms of intrusion. However, you can take simple preventative measure to help you minimize these possibilities.

At least once per year you should perform simple inspection of your home.  Make sure to check water lines for cracks or signs of stress, make sure gutters are clear of debris, check the roof for missing or lose shingles or other damages and check windows and doors seals to ensure they are not damaged or if significant gaps exist. Doing these periodic checks can help eliminate water damage events in the future. Remember, “Fortune favors the PREPARED!”
