Before extreme weather strikes, winterize your home to prevent water damage by following these tips:
Keep in mind that homeowners’ insurance companies are more apt to pay your water damage claim if you can show that you have done your due diligence and maintained your property in a reasonable manner.
Long-term strategies for water damage prevention involve regular home maintenance year-round. Pipes in the water supply system that are exposed to cold outdoor air are more likely to freeze and burst. The main water pipe carrying water to your home is an example of such a pipe. Exterior wall water pipes, as well as attic pipes, basement or crawlspace pipes, and garage pipes are more liable to freeze and burst. With this in mind,
When pipes freeze in sub-zero weather and then thaw out as temperatures rise, frozen pipes tend to crack and burst, which causes water leaks and flooding. If you discover a frozen pipe in your home, you can still prevent it from bursting and causing water damage.
