Water Damage and How to Prevent

When spring season arrives, we can finally look forward to warmer weather and sunny days. However, spring also brings us a time of melting snow and rain storms which can lead to flooding and water damage. As a result, we’ve put together a list of various types of water damage and how you can go about preventing them to keep you home safe for your family.

• Overflow of Sinks: Here at Edmonton Painters Pro, we service many calls related to water damage as a result of a sink overflow, blocked/slow drains or by leaving water taps running over an extended period of time. A quick inspection of this area will eliminate this risk.
• Water heaters: Water heaters have presented themselves as being a significant source of water damage. Corrosion will at some point cause damage to your tank which will leak and cause damage. This risk can be reduced by installing the water heater in a tray or drip pan, which can then be drained to a safe location. Set a date for water tank replacement and before you start to experience trouble. Typically hot water tanks last about then years and it’s highly suggested to replace the tank at then ten year mark, or even a sooner depending on the mineral content of your water supply.
• Roof: Flat roofs use roof drains to evacuate water. These drains should be inspected annually and cleaned of any debris or sludge. The roof deck and membrane should also be inspected for any abnormalities or leaks. For sloped or hip roofs, schedule a regular inspection of the shingles. A snow clearing/de-icing program will reduce the risk of infiltrations as well as roof snow-load collapse.
• Ground Water Infiltration If you have a sump pit drainage system installed in your home, it’s wise to ensure that it’s well maintained and inspected on a yearly basis to prevent water overflow and damage to your home. Also consider the installation of an emergency generator so the pump remains ready to operate at all times.
• Sewer Backup: To prevent water damage from sewer back-up, ensure that the main waste water pipe is fitted with a backflow valve (mandatory in many municipalities). While this valve will considerably reduce the risk of damages, it does need to be inspected and verified on a regular basis preferably by a qualified plumber.

If water damage is of concern to you, you can also invest in low-cost automatic systems that detects water leaks/flooding. The detector will either shut off the main water valve or be connected to your existing alarm system.
