The 4 Most Common Household Appliance to Cause Water Damge

Water rdamage cause by household appliances is often preventable. Here are the most common culprits when it comes to water damage in the home:

• • Washing Machine: If you find your washing machine leaking, don’t take it lightly. If you are seeing leaks around the clamps in the water hose, stay alert because it’s a warning sign for future failures.

    It is recommended to inspect your water hoses on a monthly basis and search for any cracking, leaking, or rusting on the washing machine. It is advised to replace hoses every five years, no matter how exceptional they look from the outside.

• • Refrigerator: Improper sealing or a defrosted drain clog are the major reasons for condensation buildup that leads to water leaks underneath the unit. For the defrosted drain, thaw the ice and then flush it with hot water.
    
    For improper sealing, examine the rubber seal that runs along the door. If you don’t take enough precautions, the icemaker can become a mess maker in no time. It is also advised to check the hose and water line to be sure they are connected properly every time.

• • Dishwasher: If your dishwasher has malfunctioning hoses and valves, there’s a chance it will start to leak. Loose essential plumbing connections, if not fixed quickly, may cause a puddle of water in your kitchen.

    Never forget that a dishwasher is designed to work for only 10 years. So if your dishwasher is nearing this threshold, it may be time to consider replacing it.

• • Hot Water Heater:

    Conventional water heaters that have storage tanks are prone to corrosion, age-related wear, and mineral buildup. This can lead to tank burst or leakage and then gallons of water could be flooding onto your floor.

    An annual inspection of the hot water heater can minimize the chances of excessive water damage. It is advised to flush the tank every six months to remove the sediments. Be attentive and replace your hot water heater every 10 years.
