Easy Tips To Prevent Water Damage

All insurance policies in the USA provide water
damage coverage. However, the entire process of
getting your claims transferred to your bank
account is not a very enjoyable experience. Apart
from that, the pain of actually throwing away
your favorite piece of furniture and cleaning up
the entire mess are good enough for you to be
cautious about the problems arising from water
damage. BE A RESPONSIBLE GARDENER There are
some trees like weeping willows whose roots run
pretty deep. If you are not careful about placing
them, the trees can end up spoiling your
sprinkler system, drainage field pipes and septic
tanks Clean the Roof Gutters Roof gutters are
installed to provide excellent drainage on a
rainy day. Before the rainy season kicks in, hire
a professional or if you are fit enough, you can
simply climb up to your roof and make sure that
the gutters are clean from any kind of sticks,
birds feather, leaves or bird nest. Failing to
check your gutters can cost you a lot in the long
run.

CHECK YOUR MONTHLY WATER BILL. Finding a leak in
the house is easy as long as it is from an
external source. However if the leak in internal,
in between the walls, the damage often becomes
visible when it is time to cal up emergency water
removal services. A good way to track these
hidden damages is by simply keeping an eye on the
water bill. If you see an abnormally high rate,
it is obvious that you have a leak somewhere in
the house USE A DRAIN SNAKE INSTEAD OF
UNCLOGGING CHEMICALS Clogs in the drain pipes
are pretty nasty. No one likes to deal with them.
In your attempt to get rid of them fast, do not
use unclogging chemicals. Unclogging drain
solvents may look like a quick remedy, but has a
serious negative effect on the drain pipes. They
make the pipes brittle and prone to leaks.
Instead of drainage chemicals using a drain snake
is a better idea to get rid of stubborn clogs.
5
CHECK THE WATER PRESSURE LEVEL If the water
pressure level in your house is set too high the
pipes may burst under the pressure. Invest in a
good quality water pressure gauge to monitor the
pressure. Under any circumstances, the pressure
should not go above 70ppi. If required install a
pressure regulator. Americas restoration
