Water damage is responsible for 25% of
annual home-insurance claims in the US and
over 35% of homeowners have suffered a
recorded loss of property due to water damage.
With one in three homeowners suffering property
damage due to water, it’s important to
know the warning signs of pending water
damage.
- A pipe with a 1/8 inch crack can leak 250
gallons of water daily. Small water pipes in walls or
under concrete slabs can leak without detection
for months.
- Dampness, leaking, dripping, and flooding
are all obvious signs of moisture buildup. Drippy
faucets shouldn’t be ignored, as they are frequently
a sign of a larger problem.
- Spiking water bills are
another good indicator of a water leak hidden
somewhere in your home.
- Unusually humid or cool conditions in your home are another sign of potential hidden water damage.
