Planning a summer getaway from your Massachusetts home? While you’re packing for peace of mind, don’t forget to safeguard your property from one of the most common summer threats—water damage.
At Clean Remodel, we know that even a short vacation can lead to costly damage if water issues go unnoticed. Whether it’s a burst pipe, appliance leak, or storm-driven rain, taking a few preventive steps can make all the difference.
1. Inspect Before You Leave
- Check for leaks around sinks, appliances, and your water heater.
- Clear gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage during summer storms.
- Inspect your roof for missing shingles or cracks that may allow water intrusion.
2. Shut Off Water Supply
- Turn off the main water valve to prevent potential leaks.
- If that’s not an option, shut off water supply lines to toilets, washing machines, and dishwashers.
3. Use Smart Technology
- Install water leak detectors in vulnerable areas like basements, under sinks, and near appliances.
- Consider a smart thermostat to regulate humidity and temperature while you’re away, reducing condensation risk.
4. Ask for a House Check
- Enlist a trusted neighbor or friend to check your home periodically.
- If possible, have them flush toilets and run faucets to prevent dry traps and odor buildup.
5. Prepare for Summer Storms
- Ensure your sump pump is operational and has a battery backup.
- Secure outdoor furniture and close windows to prevent rain from getting inside.
