Avoid water damage

Here are three ways to avoid getting water damage in your home. 

Tip #1: Clean gutters and downspouts.

Clean your gutters at least twice a year to avoid blockage. Sometimes you may need to clean more frequently. 

Tip #2: Know Where Your Water Main is.

Plumbing experts say that the water main shutoff may be the most important plumbing feature in the entire house. So understanding where it is incase of emergency will help you in a situation where you need to shut it off.

Tip #3: Investigate & Fix leaks promptly.

If you see a leak, or evidence of a leak, do not wait to investigate it. Waiting could lead to much bigger problems down the road. You will want to make sure you fix it promptly.
