8 Ways to Prevent & Prepare for Water Damage

Water damage can strike unexpectedly, causing significant property damage and stress. By taking proactive steps, you can reduce your chances of experiencing water damage.

Here's a checklist of preventive measures:

• Install a Smart Shut Off Valve. A smart shut-off valve automatically detects leaks and shuts off your main water supply.
• Turn Off the Water Before Vacation. Before leaving for an extended period, turn off your home’s water supply to avoid any surprises while you’re away.
• Routinely Inspect Visible Pipes. Regularly check exposed pipes for signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks. Catching leaks early can prevent more extensive damage.
• Check Appliance Hoses (Water Supply Lines). Inspect the hoses connected to appliances like washing machines and dishwashers. Replace any that show signs of cracking or wear.
• Check Your Sump Pump. Test your sump pump periodically to ensure it’s functioning correctly, especially before heavy rain or snowmelt.
• Fix Leaks Immediately. Don’t delay repairs if you notice a leak, no matter how small. Fixing leaks right away can prevent major problems.
• Clean Gutters and Downspouts. Keep gutters and downspouts clear of debris to ensure water flows properly. Clogged gutters can lead to foundation issues and roof leaks.
