3 Ways to Prevent Water Damage in Your House

4/7/2022 (Permalink)

Your home in the Aberdeen and Holmdel area is likely one of your greatest investments, so guarding it against water damage can be as important as repairing existing issues. Check out these three tips to prevent water from damaging your home and avoid troubling issues like structural problems, mold growth, and more.

1. Insulate Your Water Pipes

Wrap your home's water pipes so water won't freeze inside them when the temperature drops below freezing. Frozen water can expand and cause the pipe to burst, resulting in a messy cleanup project. Insulating your pipes can also keep the water supply flowing normally, even during a cold front when the risk of a broken pipe is higher than usual.

2. Upgrade Your Drainage System

When it comes to finding unexpected water in the home, the basement can be a trouble spot. Basement floods are common throughout Central NJ in early spring when runoff and heavy rains cause your yard to overflow. You can prevent this by upgrading your drainage system, replacing old gutters and downspouts, and having your roof checked for proper drainage.

3. Have a Water Remediation Company Inspect Your Home
