Refrigerator Supply Line Failure and Kitchen Flooding in Warren?

Our local team in St. Clair Shores responds to more water damage calls than any other form of property damage. This makes sense because, in the United States, 14,000 people experience water damage at home or work each day. Although water damage is a common form of property damage, there are some things you can do to minimize the potential for water damage. Here are some water damage prevention tips from Water Damage Defense:
- Have a plumber inspect and maintain your water heater on a regular basis
- Replace hoses on appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, and ice makers when they show signs of wear. They are cheap, so replace them before the manufacturer’s suggested timetable and use the highest quality replacements.
- When supply leaks occur, turn off the water fast! Make sure your kids know how to do this too.
- Pay attention to your plumbing system and look for signs of wear, including noisy pipes, signs of moisture on the walls or floors, or rust-stained water
- Pay attention to your toilet. Stay in the room until it finishes refilling. Get your toilets regularly inspected by a plumber.
- Make sure you have a reliable sump pump and backup sump pump protecting your basement
