Leaking or frozen pipes inside, under or outside of the home: Frozen pipes don’t occur everywhere but can easily burst in cold climates. Having your pipes checked regularly can help stop leaks from becoming major problems that will damage your home and cost you a lot of money.
- Toilet bowl complications: Leaking toilet bowls can easily damage your floor and cause problems to the structure of your home. Don’t let internal or external leaks stick around.
- Washing machine problems: Your washing machine uses a lot of water – that’s obvious. So it should be no surprise that those hoses can cause serious water damage if they tear or explode. Do smaller loads of laundry instead of huge ones to put less stress on those hoses.
