THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN UP A DISASTER IS TO PREVENT ONE FROM HAPPENING! FOLLOW THESE TIPS FOR PREVENTION:

Hose bibs

Be sure to remove the hose from your hose bibb before Winter. In the Spring, turn on the hose bibb and stop the water with your hand. If you get sprayed by water, then you have good pressure and you are fine; if not, you may have a break in the hose bibb pipe.

Rain Gutters

Clean your gutters as needed to allow water flow. Be sure downspouts are directed away from your foundation.

Inspection

Regularly inspect your ceilings, walls, and foundation area for water staining or pooling.

HVAC & Plumbing

Pouring a gallon or so of water down floor drains every few months or so is a good way to maintain those drains and make sure they are draining freely in the event of appliance malfunction which may discharge a large amount of water down those drains.

Travel

If you are leaving your home for an extended period of time, have a neighbor check on it daily to keep an eye out for problems.

These tips can help prevent a myriad of potential disasters the can be costly to repair. Anything from flood and water damage, fire damage and other damages. Utah Disaster Restoration Services is here to help keep your home and family safe!
