Here is a quick checklist to keep your house dry:
√ Monitor your water pressure and know where the shut-off is for the water coming into your house
√ Inspect hoses leading to indoor faucets, the dishwasher, washing machine, water heater and ice makers. Repair or replace if necessary.
√ Recaulk around tubs, showers, sinks and counter-tops as necessary.
√ Check the caulk and seals around windows and doors
√ Conduct a roof check once a year (fall is a good time ~ when you are cleaning out gutters or putting up Christmas lights)
√ Don’t leave home while the dishwasher is running. The dishwasher drains into the sink and if the sink drain is clogged, the dishwasher will overflow the sink.
√ Repair little leaks before they become big leaks.
