It’s that time of year again. Beaches, backyard burgers, watermelon, and family vacations. Many homeowners are taking trips with their family during the summer months, making sure that they’ve packed enough sunscreen, but forgetting to prevent water damage to their home while they are away. So how does one even begin to prevent water damage to their property? …Isn’t  water damage a complete surprise?

The truth is that in most cases, water damage can be completely prevented.

Let’s say that you return home from a beach vacation to discover a leaking toilet, broken water heater, and a water stain in your stealing. What happened here? While you were having fun under the sun with your loved ones, water sat in galvanized pipes. When water, air, and metal react, the pipe rusts from the inside. If water doesn’t run through pipes for some time from non-use, pinhole leaks occur. After taking a series of vacations, the rust gets worse until finally, there is huge pipe leak.

In order to prevent water damage in San Diego, you should:

• Run water throughout all pipe lines regularly, especially the ones that are rarely used in your home.
• You should also inspect for under sinks and an visible areas for small leaks that can turn into a big problem.

If you notice that there is some red brownish liquid come out of the faucet as soon as you turn on the water, there is already rust present.

Water damage can also happen if you play host to friends and family that come into town for a summer vacation. For example, the bathroom in the back of the house is only used when guests come over and therefore, the pipes in that bathroom are more vulnerable to rust or leakage. If the bathtub or toilet is suddenly used, water pressure cause leaks.  

In order to prevent water damage in San Diego, you should:

• Run water through these pipes as well regularly.
• If you notice red or brown around the drain, there may be more water damage underneath the tub or sink.

However, sometimes, leaking pipes can be found in between walls and ceilings where it’s difficult if not impossible for a homeowner to inspect .
