Prevent Water Damage to the Inside of Your Home

Category: Home & Garden | Permalink

Published: Tuesday, November 24, 2009

At first, small signs of water damage may seem trivial. Eventually, however, these trivial signs can ultimately lead to larger and more severe problems. Water stains on ceilings can lead to weakened roofing, leaks under the kitchen sink can lead to rotten floorboards and burst pipes can possibly even damage furniture and other personal possessions. By learning where in your home you may be most susceptible to water damage, the better your chances of preventing water damage inside your home.

Kitchen

Sinks - Any caulking that appears deteriorated in any way should be replaced. Pipes beneath the sink should be checked for leaks.
Dishwasher - On the occasion the hose that connects the water supply to the dishwasher should be checked. Search for evidence around the base of the dishwasher for leaks like, discolored, warped or soft flooring materials or water damage to nearby cabinets.
Refrigerator - Most refrigerators have ice makers. Make sure the hose connection is securely attached to the water supply line.

Bathrooms

Showers and Bathtubs - Deteriorated/cracked caulking or grout should be removed and replaced.
Sinks - Same process as kitchen sinks.
Toilets - Avoid toilet clogging and harsh chlorine tablet cleansers that may corrode internal parts.

Basement, Laundry or Utility Room

Water Heaters - Most last about 8 to 15 years. Wet spots on floor or rusted areas on the tank may signal a leak. Should be installed on the lowest level of the home.
Washing Machine - Hoses should be checked regularly for bulging, cracking, fraying and leaks. Hose should be replaced every three to five years.

Entire Home

Shut off water supply and check to see if the water meter continues to spin.
