Disasters that result in water damages are ones that can potentially be prevented with a few tips and tricks from us here at SERVPRO of Wesley Chapel. Listed below are 3 things you can do to avoid damages from water in your home.

• Observing Your Appliances. 

Our company has cleaned and restored water damages way too many times to count. Often times these damages are from leaking or broken supply lines from appliances. An appliance that uses water such as a washing machines or dishwasher, typically has a little hose attached to them that serves as a supply line. These hoses can crack or break completely resulting in flooding or water being spilled into the area. To avoid a water mess in your home, regularly check and inspect your appliances and supply lines. Check your developing cracks or kinks in your hose and if found, contact your provider for further inspection replace the hose immediately.

• Regular Bathroom Maintenance

 Conducting regular maintenance to your bathroom can help you spot a leak or pooling water quicker, in order to prevent further damages. When cleaning your bathroom area, check for a potential pipe burst under your sink or toilet. In addition, check for pools of water around your toilet, near your tub or shower, and under your sink or vanity. If standing water is found it is best to remove the liquid immediately in order to stop moisture from being absorbed, then possibly growing mold. Doing regular bathroom maintenance enables you to fully inspect your area and notice a potential issue that can result in water damage.

• Checking Your HVAC Unit

HVAC units can often times cause moisture problems for a home. The best way to avoid moisture problems from HVAC units is to schedule regular services and have your system checked. Having a professional company service your unit, can stop potential disasters from occurring to your home.
