Water damage - Tips for reducing your risk!

 

This week, a few tips for supply lines and drains:

  • Watch for stains on walls or ceilings & a musty smell.
  • Pay attention to your water bill. A significant increase could indicate a leak.
  • Insulate pipes in attics, basements and exposed exterior pipes to avoid freezing.
  • During periods of freezing weather, open cabinet doors to expose pipes to warm air.
  • Disconnect garden hoses when freeze warnings are issued.

Next week, tips for toilets!
