When it comes to your home, you take every step you can to protect it for you and your family. There are many sources of potential damage to your house of which you’re likely aware. Hurricane and storm damage, earthquake damage, and tornado damage are just a few of the many natural disasters that homeowners must guard their homes against.
What you may not realize is that right inside your very own home are several sources of potential damage to your home. Many appliances have the capacity to cause severe water damage to your home, right where you least suspect it. Fortunately, this damage can be repaired by hiring a water damage service. But, you can’t solve a problem that you don’t know exists! In this article, we’ll list some of the major sources of water damage that may be inside of your home.
Dishwasher
Everyone loves the convenience of a dishwasher, but water damage could be lurking underneath it. If your dishwasher isn’t properly sealed, it could leak. Over time this leak could result in water damage. Be sure to check all areas around and under your dishwasher for potential water damage.
Washing Machine
Washing machines are common sources of leaks as well. If they are unattended while in use, they may also unknowingly overflow. To prevent this, be sure that every part of your washing machine is snugly attached. If your machine is older, it may be more prone to these issues, so you may consider buying a newer model.
Air Conditioner
Lastly, your AC can also be a source of water damage. As your AC takes moisture from the air, the moisture builds as water inside of it. If that water isn’t properly drained, it can cause issues. Even if your AC appears to be working normally, it could still be creating damaging water leaks. There’s a good case to be made for regularly having a contractor come to service your AC. They can check for any damage before there is a problem. If damage has already occurred, you will likely have to hire someone else for water damage service unless your contractor specifically states they can handle both tasks.
