CHECK ALL WATER SUPPLY
LINES FOR LEAKS OR CRACKS
Check angle stops and shut-off valves to see if they’re freezing up when you need them. If you can’t turn them off, they should be replaced — the last thing you want in a flood is a stuck shut-off valve when you’re already dealing with an emergency and they won’t turn off.
This could cost you $5 to $10 to replace, where a flood could cost you thousands of dollars. It can help you in the financial crisis we’re living in today.
HAVE YOUR SEWER LINES INSPECTED
FOR ANY CRACKS OR HOLES
Preventative measures Tips: Have your plumber or handyman inspect your understructure lines to make sure your pipe wires are strong and none of your plumbing is falling and pulling apart.
We have done many jobs when pipes come apart and flood under the entire home.
Make sure to clear any trapped paper in the sewage lines, also snake out the tree roots that grow in your sewage pipes coming from your trees.
As nice as they look their roots grow into your plumbing lines and clog creating backups in your house and buildings, showers and sinks can get trapped with roots.
