One of the most traumatic disaster occurrences facing property owners, insurance companies and property management companies in and around Galt is water damage.

Mold and bacteria can take hold very quickly. Often in just 48 hours.

Preventing Water Damage In Your Home
Water damage can often be avoided with routine maintenance and assistance from qualified contractors.
It will be well worth your time to take a few extra moments every week to check potential trouble spots in and around your home. Early detection could mean the difference between a simple mop-up job and major construction repairs. Here are some tips to consider:

  • Replace washing machine supply lines annually. Replace rubber hoses with stainless steel braided hoses.
  • Inspect your water heater for corrosion and leakage.
  • Periodically inspect your ice maker supply line behind your refrigerator. If the line is brittle or leaking, have it replaced.
  • Clean out your gutters at least once a year. Properly flowing gutters and downspouts help prevent water backing up under shingles.
  • Inspect your roof annually for leaks. Replace missing shingles or tiles. Check flashing installed between surfaces, including chimneys, vent stacks or dormers; they are often the most common sites for leaks.
  • In Galt we don't have to worry too much about freezing weather, but just in case a freak winter storm does comes through, make sure you have plenty of attic insulation and plenty of attic ventilation. These help prevent the formation of ice dams which can cause water to back up under roof shingles.
  • Always remove hoses from any outdoor spigots. Freeze-proof spigots only work when hoses are removed.
  • Inspect plumbed rooms, such as the kitchen, laundry room and bath for leaks or signs of leakage in water supply and waste lines.
  • Make sure that shower walls and floor are structurally sound and that grout and joints are well sealed and in good condition.
  • If you choose to replace caulking choose an anti-microbial caulking available from Home Depot, it costs a little more but is worth it.
  • Inspect toilet water supply lines for leakage. Check to make sure the fixture is properly secured to the floor and does not shift or rock when weight is applied.
  • Inspect central air-conditioning systems annually for proper operation and drainage.

If you have already experience water damage, here are some steps you can take before we arrive. Please do not take any unnecessary risks, but time is critical in minimizing additional damages. Always adhere to the recommendations of your fire department or other responding agencies as your health and safety are more important than your possessions.

  • Contact a qualified insurance restoration contractor such as PuroClean Home Rescue. Keep in mind that many companies say that they are qualified in water damage restoration yet do not possess the appropriate training or equipment.
  • Report the damage to your insurance company as soon as possible. Most companies have a toll-free call center number or you can report the loss to your agent and they will advise you on how to report the claim.
  • If safe to do so, locate the source of the water and turn off any supply valves to stop the flow of water.
  • Remember, water is an excellent conductor of electricity, so don't allow wet materials or surfaces to come in contact with any electrical source. Always shut off the power if there is any risk.
  • Take plenty of photos and keep a list of anything you have discarded and receipts for any expenses you incur in protecting your family and your property.
  • If you must relocate, even temporarily, give your insurance company a phone number where you can be reached.
