Water Damage In Your Home: The Top 10 Causes

Water Damage TipsAugust 12, 2020iSanitize

If you have ever experienced water damage in your home, you will not soon forget the experience. The important consideration is to know how to check for water damage.

Each of the following have a distinct pattern which a homeowner needs to watch for a recurring basis. Water damage can occur over a long period of time or it can move quickly. You can never let down your guard.

With that in mind, we need to examine the top 10 causes and how a water damage company in New Orleans can assist you.

 

1) RUNNING AND DRIPPING TOILET

A toilet should always be quiet when not is use. Make sure it is still after every flush.

 

2) WASHING MACHINE

A washer machine uses a large quantity of water. It is a prime area for leaking hoses. Always check for small leaks and periodically test the hose connections to verify that are tight.

 

3) GARBAGE DISPOSAL

Most homeowners keep numerous items under the kitchen sink. The pipes for the garbage disposal are in the same location. Any backup will flood the area and water will spill out on the floor. Make it a practice to check after every use.

 

4) AIR CONDITIONER

There is an overflow pan which catches the extra water produced by the system. If the pipes become clogged, it will spill out and your ceiling will leak. It will not take too much water to produce damage that will cause repairs to your ceiling. You need to know who to call for water damage in ceiling.

 

5) WATER HEATER

The water heater holds water all time. It is constantly replacing water. Know the location of your water heater and how to check for water damage.

 

6) BURST PIPES

These next two causes go hand in hand. Cold weather can cause pipes to burst. It is important to make sure the pipes in your home are insulated and properly wrapped.

 

7) FROZEN FIRE SPRINKLER

If you have a fire sprinkler system, you need to be aware of the same problem as with any pipe. The water needs to be a certain temperature to avoid freezing and bursting.

 

8) WATER IN THE BASEMENT

Unless you have a specific reason to go in the basement every day, you need to make a point of looking for standing water. Your home should have a working sump pump. When it fails, water from rain or other sources can rise quickly. This is one area for certain where we can help you when you have water damage.

 

9) STOPPED UP DRAIN

Any drain, whether shower or sink, can stop up and eventually overflow.

10) SEWER BACKS UP

This is last but potentially the worst problem. Sewer water in the basement or anywhere else is not pleasant. You will not be able to use any water until the sewer is fixed. This is when you need a water damage company in New Orleans. We can help you when you have water damage.
