Disasters Happen!  What Can You Do?

Image title
We had a great company in the office the other day that deal with Disaster Restoration, because Disasters Happen and they gave us some great information that I thought would be good to pass along to you.

DID YOU KNOW:  The top causes of home and business damage come from
  • Supply line burst – toilets, sinks, dishwasher, washing machine, ice maker supply lines, etc.
  • Water heater failure and burst
  • Washing machine overflow
  • Personal Error – forgot the water running in the tub, etc.
  • Fire/Smoke damage – Kitchen fires and other major events
  • Wind, vehicle, and other miscellaneous caused damage

So What Can You Do?  You can help PREVENT the damage BEFORE it happens by
  • Soft Supply Lines – Have all soft supply lies, angel stops, and main shut-offs inspected and tested once per year.
  • Know Main Shut-Off Points – Know the location of the main turn off locations for electrical, water and fire sprinklers.  Test all main shut-offs to assure they are not frozen.
  • Create a Simple Disaster Prevention Plan – Actions in the first 60 minutes to 24 hours can prevent substantial “Secondary Damage”
  • Water Off When You’re Gone for More Than 2 Days
  • Get Properly Insured – Condo owner’s insurance company is FREQUENTLY wrong, too low, or not carried at all.

These are just a few of the top actions you can take on your own when disasters happen.  If you ever have a disaster at your home or business, please have a look at our website under the Preferred Partner tab to find our referrals for this and many other services that we think can be of help to you.
