Preventing Plumbing-Related Home Water Damage
Leaky faucets and frequently refilling toilets can seem like a small problem at first, but if left untreated, they can cause your water bills to skyrocket. In order to prevent water waste in your home, as well as any water-related damage, be sure to inspect the rooms in your home that contain bathtubs, sinks, dishwashers, washing machines, and other appliances that regularly utilize water. Look for any signs of damage such as warped flooring, corroded pipes, and stained cabinetry. Another step to take to ensure that your plumbing is working properly is to turn supply line valves on and off to make sure they work.
Before finishing up your in-home inspection, check the basement for signs of leaks such as a musty smell or wall stains. For more tips on preventing home water damage, watch this video from State Farm.
