Protect Your Home
Simple steps can help Charlotte-area homeowners avoid costly water damage before it starts.

Look for rust, corrosion, or leaks around the base of your water heater. Consider having it inspected annually.
In an emergency, being able to quickly shut off your home's water supply can significantly limit damage.
Washing machine hoses, dishwasher lines, and other appliance connections should be checked periodically for wear.
Clogged gutters can cause water to pool near your foundation, leading to leaks and basement flooding.
A sudden, unexplained increase in your water bill can be an early sign of a hidden leak.
Frozen pipes are a common cause of winter water damage. Insulation can help prevent them from bursting.
