Water damage is one of the most common (and expensive) problems homeowners face. The good news? With a little prevention, you can avoid most issues before they start. Here are five key tips:
- Inspect Your Roof Regularly – Damaged shingles and clogged gutters are a leading cause of leaks.
- Seal Windows & Doors – Small cracks allow water intrusion during storms.
- Check Appliances & Plumbing – Hoses, washing machines, and water heaters should be inspected for leaks.
- Maintain Proper Drainage – Ensure your yard slopes away from the foundation.
- Install a Sump Pump – In flood-prone areas, a sump pump can be a lifesaver.
Taking these steps now can save you from the stress of repairs and insurance claims later.
