Our team wants you and your family to stay comfortable and dry all year long, so we are offering some great tips to reduce your risk of water issues and water damage in your home in our latest blog post.
Since the potential for water damage is always constant, it is crucial that you take preventive steps every day to reduce your risk as much as possible.
Water issues could be immediately apparent in an appliance malfunction or flood, or can happen over a period of months with a single, slow drip. In any case, prevention is key! Familiarize yourself with the different ways water can sneak into your home.
Blocked gutters and damaged roofs are common causes of rainwater issues and flooding, while large appliances and other fixtures are typically the main culprits inside our walls.
Even the appliances that need water to work can be vulnerable if water infiltrates their electrical components. The sooner you can identify the issue, the better chance you have of preventing widespread damage and a costly repair bill.
Don’t be afraid to investigate! Check your bathrooms and kitchen each time you are performing your routine cleaning. Get under the sinks to look for water stains and pull back appliances to check for mold growth.
Wipe down any windows that have condensation, and follow your nose if you notice a musty smell somewhere in your home.
Preventing damage is always worth any extra work that you need to do. Water is a great resource, but it should stay where it is welcome and out of our homes.
Here in the San Antonio area, we are especially vulnerable to flooding issues. If you haven’t yet, look into your flood insurance options, keep your gutters free of debris and address any foundation issues right away.
Another great way to reduce your risk of seasonal flooding is to grade your property! Professional companies can come out and move soil around your yard to help encourage water to flow away from your foundation.
