Learn more about water damage in your home—where it can happen, and how you can prevent it—with these five questions.
-
Have you installed a water leak detection device in your home?
If you have, you’re a step ahead of most – and well on your way to maintaining a dry, comfortable home. Installing a water leak detection device not only can identify leaks early on, it can either notify you or shut off the water supply to prevent major damage.
-
How much does a typical water leak repair cost?
The cost for water leak repairs can easily be S$50,000 or even more.
-
Have you ever had your appliances inspected?
If you have, that’s great. The surest way to prevent a water leak is to keep your appliances in good order and inspect them periodically to make sure there are no issues.
-
Which appliances are most likely to leak?
Plumbing supply systems are the number one cause of non-weather-related losses. That means your kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room, and the pipes that connect them to the water supply, warrant a little extra attention.
-
Are you planning to do renovations on your home?
If you are, you’re not alone. This is an excellent time to install home protection devices, such as water shut-off systems, if you have not done so.
