Places in Your House at High Risk of Leaks – Water Damage Prevention

Water Damage TipsOctober 13, 2020iSanitize

Several natural forces, such as nearby fires and strong winds, can cause water damage and may cause havoc in your home. However, one such force that can be the most destructive is water. For instance, a flood or a tidal wave can destroy a house and cause a lot of water damage. And in such scenario, it is better to hire flood damage restoration services to stop further damage from happening.

That being said, even a small leak in your property can lead to extensive water damage in your house. In order to keep your home protected from a water damage issue, you should know which parts of your property are most likely to develop a leak. That way, you will be able to catch the issue as soon as it happens. It will also allow you to minimize the water damage and repair costs.

Let’s take a look at a few places which are at a higher risk of leaks.

1. The Shower
One of the most water-prone places in the entire household is the shower. A huge amount of water runs through the shower, especially behind the wall where your shower head attaches, so the leaks can happen unexpectedly.
If leaks occur there, you will need to contact an expert who can access the compartment to fix the problem.

2. The Water Heater
Water heaters are the source of hot water throughout the property. Although you use them frequently every day, you should have them inspected and maintained from time to time.

You can assume that your water heater will perform well throughout the covered period if it comes with a warranty. Besides, you need to make an effort ensuring that the system doesn’t have any issues. You have to take a look at the drain valves and the tanks for any signs of a problem.

3. The Washing Machine
Although leaks in the washing machine are not common, they still occur. For instance, water seeping out from the underneath the fixture and wetting the floor around it is a leak from the washing machine.

In case if you notice water where it is not supposed to be, you need to inspect the machine and if required, fix it. Remember, water leaks can be the result of poor hose placement, so make sure everything is as it should be before taking any drastic measures. Also, be sure to check and not run into any water damage situations.

4. The Roof
The roof is exposed to plenty of stress throughout its lifetime. It works hard to maintain the temperature inside the home and keep the external elements outside. This is possible due to a layer of roof tiles and other roof components.

However, any roof will deteriorate over time, and leaks can start to occur. If you notice any moisture or puddles of water in your attic, there is a possible leaking issue that you need to fix promptly.

The Bottom Line
Other than above-mentioned places, the kitchen and toilet are also at high risk of leaks. So, it is better to inspect and maintain your home regularly. This is the best way to ensure leaks are kept to a minimum. Should a leak occur, you should contact flood damage restoration services to prevent further water damage.
