You should make sure to check all of your appliances on a regular basis, especially your water heater and washing machine. Inspect the supply hoses for wear and tear. If the supply hoses are leaking, then you should have them replaced immediately. Leaving them like this can result in the leaks getting worse, making your appliances less efficient and increasing the risk of water damage in the area. You should also look for water pump leaks to avoid water damage.
In addition to checking the plumbing, you should make sure your gutters are in good shape as well. Clean your gutters out and make sure there’s no damage to prevent leaks in your roof, which can result in further damage to your gutter system or water damage to the house.
