Common Causes of Water Damage Claims
Since water damage can prove to be one of the costliest claims homeowners are faced with, it is important that we analyze the most common causes of water damage claims so that we can take the necessary preventative action.
- Malfunctioning Appliances – Failure to inspect, maintain, and replace parts of our every-day appliances can prove to create a wide range of costly issues. The hoses of your washing machine are likely the most temperamental of the bunch, so make sure to provide it with sufficient tender love and care.
- Deteriorating Hot Water Heaters – It is important to note that water heaters rust and corrode over the years, so conducting the proper maintenance is crucial to your hot water heater’s longevity. We recommend replacing any water heater over ten years old.
- Leaking Roofs – Providing your roof with regular maintenance will allow you to feel confident in its ability to keep water out.
