Limiting the risk of water damage to your property in Adelaide
During the lifetime of your property, it is almost inevitable that it will be impacted by some form of water damage issue at some stage. Whether it’s water damage due to external drainage issues, water damage from leaking tap fittings inside the wall cavity or significant flooding from a burst pipe fitting.
Any form of water damage event carries risk of structural damage and ongoing bacterial issues to your property. For these reasons it is always best to engage a professional water damage restoration company to inspect your property as soon as possible following a water damage event to your property.
The best way to deal with water damage is to avoid it, and there are some simple steps that can be taken to greatly reduce the risk of experiencing water damage to your property. By following some of these steps listed below you may save not only water damage to your home but thousands of dollars in water damage restoration and repair costs.
- Always attend immediately to even the smallest of leaks or dripping taps. A small water leak can be a precursor for a much larger issue ahead.
- Regularly inspect the condition of all the flexi hoses in your house. Flexi-hoses are generally located underneath bathroom, kitchen and laundry sinks and vanities. Have your local plumber change these out as required to ensure they are always in good condition.
- Have your sewer drains inspected on a regular basis to ensure there are no blockages. If you notice the drains not clearing freely or starting to back-up have this attended to immediately.
- Keep your gutters clear and free from built-up silt and debris, especially box gutters.
- Ensure you have good drainage around your property and that all water and moisture is draining away from the building.
- Keep your eye on the local weather patterns and prepare early for any localised storms.
- Ensure that the silicon seal that runs around the base of your shower is in good condition, if not a plumber or handy man can attend to this for you.
- Be mindful and don’t allow yourself to get distracted when filling sinks, laundry tubs and bathtubs with water.
- Keep all drain holes in the wet areas free from bathmats and towels so they can drain freely if required.
- If you see any visible signs of mould or you start to notice musty odours, have a professional water damage restoration company inspect this for you.
- If you intend on going away for a long weekend or a holiday, ensure you turn your water off at the mains tap usually located outside at the front of the property.
These are just a few things you can easily implement to greatly reduce the risk of water damage in Adelaide or any location for that matter. As they say prevention is the best cure, so we hope you find these tips helpful for reducing the risk of water damage to your home or commercial premises.
Water damage can be devastating.
If the unthinkable does happen and your property is impacted by water or flood damage, it can have devastating consequences. In some cases, if the flooding is severe, it can really take its toll on your property.
Unfortunately, water damage from a burst pipe or from a ruptured water line can happen when you are not home, with water running through your property for hours or even days in some instances without you being aware of it. In cases such as this the overall water damage to your property and contents can be significant resulting in costly repairs.
