Hundreds of thousands of homes in America are at risk of experiencing serious flooding, burst pipes, leaks and water overflows, because residents and property managers do not follow routine maintenance steps which are designed to help to safeguard their homes. Whilst not all water damage can be prevented, most incidents could have been avoided if the homeowner or property managed had taken action earlier. If you want to learn more about how to prevent avoidable water damage, sign up to our free water damage prevention course for property managers, which will take place on Monday 4th January 2016 at 9am.
Water damage can end up costing property owners thousands of dollars, and property managers often end up spending valuable hours on repairing and restoring areas of homes which have been affected by water. As well as causing severe structural damage, water damage is also one of the leading causes of mold growth in American homes. Toxic mold growth can leave a property uninhabitable, as mold can be very dangerous for residents' health. Taking the time to attend this free course will help you to reduce the risks of water damage in your home.
In many circumstances, water-related incidents happen because cheap components were installed when the house was first built. Many builders want to make a quick buck, and therefore they are willing to use substandard materials, because they know that by the time disaster strikes, they won't be responsible anymore. These components often age more quickly than they should and can break at any moment. Luckily, most of these parts will not cost you much to repair or replace. Taking a proactive approach to home repairs will help you to avoid many of the water-related incidents which have been caused by poor quality building work, and can ultimately end up saving you thousands of dollars in water damage repair and restoration costs.
As part of this course, you will learn why many of the homes that you look after are at risk from water damage, and you will learn what you can do to prevent future damage from occurring. These simple tips include; regular checks on supply pipes, clearing guttering, unclogging filters, testing sump pumps and reapplying grouting around sinks, tubs and showers. Once you know the tricks of the trade, you can then add these tasks to your routine maintenance schedule, so that you will never forget to make the important checks that you need to. Most of the checks that you will learn about only take a few minutes to do, and they can help you to prevent potential problems from occurring.
Although this event is completely free for participants, voluntary donations to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund are encouraged. The Red Cross works with thousands of individuals, families and communities across America and around the world to support those who have been affected by disasters. Your donations will help them to continue to provide food, shelter and medical support to those who need it the most.
