How to Prevent Water Damage Before It Happens

Water damage prevention in the home starts with appliance and plumbing maintenance.

• Your water bill might be your first hint of a problem. An unusually high bill could indicate a small leak or even a bad toilet valve.
• Periodically check visible pipes for corrosion or damage.
• Check your water pressure. High water pressure can cause pipes to degrade more quickly by putting more stress on the pipes.
• Water supply lines for your toilet, washing machine, dishwasher, and ice maker can burst after even three years. Check them for signs of damage, and replace them at least every five years, preferably with metal braid lines instead of plastic.
• Insulate your pipes against winter's cold. And if extreme cold is in the forecast, leave water dripping from the faucet to relieve pressure in the pipes.
• Have your water heater tank inspected annually for deterioration and rusting.
• Don't flush the toilet and then leave the house immediately. Wait a few minutes to make sure that the toilet doesn't overflow and that the tank refills properly.
• Check that the gutters are in good repair and not blocked by debris, and that the downspouts are directed away from your home's foundation. Blocked gutters can lead to water pooling around the basement and seeping into your home.
