We want to debunk the common myths and educate you on the best ways to prevent water leaks.

Water damage can be overwhelming if you do not have experience in this field. Furthermore, people might use resources that share incorrect water damage information. 

We want to debunk the common myths and educate you on the best ways to prevent water leaks.

1. Water damage won’t happen to me: 1 in 50 insured homes have a property damage claim caused by water damage each year, according to the Insurance Information Institute. 
2. I’ve already experienced a leak, it won’t happen again: The first leak is less often a one-time event and can lead to another in the future.
3. There’s only a leak if I can see it: Leaks aren’t always obvious. Sometimes they look like water spots and other times they’re hidden. Some visible signs of leaks can include: Unexpectedly high water bills, Sagging warped ceilings, Cracked or warped flooring, Mildew or mold in your kitchen, and more. 
4. If it’s only a small leak, it can wait: It’s easy for small leaks to turn into much larger, since the longer water drips, the worse the damage.
