Tips for Water Damage Prevention

At SERVPRO® of St. Clair Shores, we have responded to many forms of water damage in St. Clair Shores over the years and we know that many of these emergencies may have been prevented by taking some preventative measures. Here are some tips from the Insurance Information Institute that may prevent a water damage emergency from occurring in your home:

  • When away on vacation, shut off the water supply to the washing machine and never leave the house while the washer or dishwasher is running.
  • Know the location of the main water shut-off valve in your home. A damaged hose or a burst pipe can send water racing into your home. Being able to locate and shut off the main water supply quickly will save stress, money and time.
  • Install an emergency pressure release valve in your plumbing system. This will protect against the increased pressure caused by freezing pipes and can help prevent your pipes from bursting.

It’s also a good idea to take a look at your current homeowner’s insurance policy and make sure you have adequate coverage. For example, some homeowner’s insurance policies cover sewer and drain backups, and some do not.
