Water Damage in Waycross Requires Professional Attention
2/11/2022 (Permalink)
Water damage in your home or business can be costly. There are some things you can do to avoid major water damage. Also, by doing these checks and basic maintenance you might detect a hidden leak early.
Look for watertight options in new windows and doors. Older wood windows should be cleaned, and repainted. Breaks or cracks in trim should be resealed.
If you have an older house, check the condition of your pipes. The lifespan of plumbing varies by the pipe material. If you suspect damage or leaks, consider replacing.
The easiest solutions to overflowing gutters are to either add another downspout on that run of gutter or to increase the size of the downspout.
Install a sump pump. This might be necessary if water damage has been a serious problem in your basement. Consider buying a backup battery-powered pump in case the power goes out.
Replace washing machine supply hoses every three to five years.
Install a water leak detection system.
Regularly check your roof for signs of damage.
Seal your basement. Different materials and methods vary in application and cost.
