Top Five Water Damage Culprits
- Bursting or leaking pipes such as those found in backed up toilets/drains. Damaged garbage disposal systems are another common location for bursting pipes.
- Issues with the plumbing system can be difficult or even impossible to detect. However, a common issue is hoses and joint pipes not being fully attached.
- Water build-up in susceptible areas such as crawl spaces, attics, and basements.
- Faulty household appliances. Every day appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, and dishwashers are all susceptible to deterioration, so keep watch on older machines.
- HVACs (Heating, ventilating and air conditioning units) issues- especially concerning your everyday AC.
