  1. Check Your Appliances

Regular appliance checks can prevent water damage. Most leaks are known to occur from appliances in need of repairs.

Some common appliances include refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters. Major water loss and damage can occur from the use of these appliances.

So, it’s a good idea to check them and to make the necessary replacements and repairs.

  1. Inspect Your Roof

Inspecting your roof is a practical step that helps you to avoid water damage.

A roof leak or water damage can affect both the inside and outside of your house. The best way to inspect your roof is to look for signs of discoloration, mold growth, and cracks.

You also need to make sure that your shingles are intact.

Once you observe an issue with your roof, you can replace it or make repairs. You can also hire a professional to check the condition of your roof.

A professional roof inspection gives you the assurance that your home is not vulnerable to water damage. Read more now.

  1. Perform AC Checks

Your air conditioning unit may have leaks that you don’t know about. This unit can also cause major water damage if it’s not checked.

This type of damage may cost you thousands of dollars or more in repairs.

Be sure to check your unit for any signs of damage. If you don’t know how to check your unit, you can schedule a professional annual inspection.

A professional can provide you with a thorough inspection of your air conditioning unit to ensure that everything is in excellent condition.

  1. Check Your Windows and Doors

Water can seep through your windows and doors causing damage to your home. If you live in an area where there are frequent storms, you may need to seal your windows and doors with caulk.

Sealing your home helps to keep your home dry and reduces your chances of having to deal with significant water damages from storms.

  1. Turn Off Your Water Supply

Don’t forget to turn off your water supply and your water heater if you’re planning to go away on vacation. Even if you’re only going away for the weekend you still need to take this precaution.

Turning off your water supply can minimize emergencies and keep your home safe.

Hire a Professional to Check for House Water Damage

Keep in mind that house water damage is preventable as long as you follow the right steps to maintain your home.

If you’re unable to provide a thorough inspection of your home, you can hire a professional. This gives you peace of mind that you’re protecting your home.
