WATER!
Water damage is the most common - and costly - homeowner claim year round.
Below are some common causes to look out for:
Standing Water in outdoor hoses - Standing water can freeze in your hose and an ice block can can occur within the pipes and burst. Here in Albuquerque, be sure to disconnect all hoses in the fall to be prepared for winter time.
Know where your water main is! We also recommended to shut off your water main while out of town for a long period of time.
Check your appliances regularly for leaks - Especially paying close attention to washing machines, refrigerators, and hot water heaters. If leaks are found, fix the leaks as soon as possible.
Lastly, inspect your roof before monsoon season. Damage roof leads to leaks which can lead to devastating water damage inside your home but not only water damage, the leak can find its way to electrical outlets or cords causing a fire.
