Top 4 Preventative Water Loss Tips for Homes or Businesses:

  1. Checking Appliances Regularly: It is important to check your appliances for any issues and perform regular maintenance on them. This is make sure they are working properly, and to find any issues before they become problems. If not caught quickly, small leaks can cause big problems over long amounts of time.
  2. Watch Your Monthly Bills: Pay attention to your water usage for any large (or small) spikes on your bill. Even if it is a few dollars a month, that could be indicating an issue you want to find as soon as possible.
  3. Beware of Trees: Having trees around your home or business can lower your bills, and is is great for the environment. But you also have to be careful about what types of trees you plant, and how close they are to buildings or power lines. The key is to plant trees with non-invasive roots at least ten feet away from your home, and trees with invasive roots at least 25 feet away. This way the roots do not cause issues to your home or building, which can cause water leaks to happen.
  4. Take Action: Once you see a spike in your water bill, look for a water leak! If you notice your trees roots are starting to get near your home or building, take action before it is too late! Make it a priority to avoid any water damage. If you do ignore small problems, they can grow into large problems quickly!
