Water may come in from plumbing leaks, heavy rains through a leak in your roof, from your air conditioner , an appliance (washer, water heater, ice line, dishwasher, etc.), windows, poor grade, or from fire extinguishing efforts.  Most important to note; the longer the water sits, the worse the damage becomes. Immediately addressing water problems will save thousands of dollars in damage repairs.

  • Inspect your water heater for corrosion and leakage.
    
  • Replace rubber hoses with stainless steel braided hoses. Replace washing machine supply lines annually.
    
  • Take a look at your ice line.  If the line is brittle or leaking, have it replaced.
    
  • Clean out your gutters at least once a year.  Clogged gutters can result in wood rot.
    
  • Inspect roof for leaks  Common leak areas are flashing installed between surfaces, chimneys, vent stacks and dormers.
    
  • Inspect the kitchen, laundry room, and bath for leaks or signs of leakage in water supply and waste lines.
  • Shower walls and floor are should be structurally sound and grout joints should be well sealed and in good condition.
    
  • Inspect toilet water supply lines for leakage. Be sure toilet is secured to the floor and does not shift or rock when weight is applied.
  • Make sure central air-conditioning systems is draining properly.  Simply look at at exterior drain while unit is in use.  A small amount of water should be dripping.
