Sometimes, water damage has a different root cause and today we want to talk about 5 of the most common ones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Water Heater. Yep, you read it correctly, water heaters that are too old, missing a pan or a busted water pipe can be an annoying source of water damage. If you haven\u2019t had it inspected in the last 5 years, stop what you are doing, and go check on it and create the habit to inspect it at least once a year, ideally, every six months.<\/li>\n<li>HVAC, is another culprit, as poor maintenance to your HVAC system can increase moisture inside the ducts, creating microbial growths that clog the drainpipe and create condensation which translates into\u2026 WATER DAMAGE! Experts recommend HVAC maintenance at least once a year.<\/li>\n<li>Your Toilet, yes, we said it, the dreaded overflowed tank or bowl. Need I say more?<\/li>\n<li>Sink Supply Pipeline Valves are our number four, the water damage occurs when these get too old, or have excessive pressure. Periodic visual inspections are a good idea, if you begin to notice moisture, leaks or something off, it is time to call your plumber, while it may seem expensive, or inconvenient, it doesn\u2019t compare to actual water damage.<\/li>\n<li>And finally, the one that always comes to mind\u2026 Roof Leaks! The reason for water damage with rook leaks includes old roof shingles, deficient maintenance to gutters and other areas, fallen trees that are not trimmed properly, strong winds, hailstorms, and old skylights which crack or are not sealed correctly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, please remember your friends at\u00a0<strong>Puro<\/strong><strong>Clean<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Property Savers<\/strong>\u00a0are a phone call away at<strong><a href=\"tel:+15129565700\" class=\"phone-link\">(512)956-5700<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0or visit our website\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/austin-tx-puroclean-property-savers\/\">www.puroclean.com<\/a>\u00a0for your\u00a0fire, water, mold, and biohazard emergencies in the Austin area and we work with most insurance companies, call us TODAY!
