What Should I do if my Pipe Bursts?

Stay calm. Find your breaker box and shut off the power to the effected areas. Water and electricity are an extremely dangerous mix that can lead to shock and or electrocution. If you’ve got rubber boots, wear them. Once the electricity is sorted, turn off your main water supply. Especially if you don’t know where your leak is coming from, it’s important to shut off the water so it’s not causing more damage. Survey the damage and take pictures of what has been ruined. Renters insurance and home owners insurance usually cover water damage. Lastly when you want to start your water removal process call 911 Restoration Coral Gables, the plumbing company that specializes in water extraction and water damage restoration.

Why are my Appliances Leaking?

When was the last time you gave your washer a little TLC? Appliances don’t age like fine wine and cheese. They’re more like milk. While built to last, over time they reach an expiration date and are subject to wear and tear. Hoses can rattle free and age can cause washer bursts and ruptured hoses. Running routine maintenance checks on your appliances can prevent much water damage.

How Can I Prevent Water Damage From my Washing Machine? 

Washing Machines are a common trouble area for water damage. 911 Restoration recommends:

–          When installing your washing machine, or moving it, make sure to leave a three-inch gap between the back of the washing machine and the wall to avoid kinking the hose near the valve connection.

–          If your home will be unattended for a long period of time be sure to turn off the water supply valves to your washing machine.

–          We also recommend that you perform an inspection of the water supply lines to the appliance looking out for cracks, kinks, or blisters, every six months.

–          Ensure the water line connection is secure and replace the hose every five years.

–          Use mesh hoses, which are more resistant to leaks, cracking, and kinking.

–          Lastly, never operate the washing machine when your home is unoccupied. If a hose rattles free you might come home to a laundry room disaster that could have been prevented.
