Here are some quick tips to avoid a water damage in your Chesterfield Home.

Be careful with planting trees

Planting trees may not be that popular in the desert but if you are looking to add some shade to help your home cool down in those summer months, Be careful of trees with invasive roots such as weeping willows. Trees with invasive roots can cause problems with irrigation, pipes and even septic tanks.

Keep an eye on your water bill

It is always a good idea to monitor your water bill regularly. Sudden spikes in your bill can be a good indication of a leak that you may not be aware about.

Chemicals may not be the best thing when unclogging your sink

Clogs happen. Everyone experiences them and those unclogging chemicals are extremely handy but they can eat away at pipes causing future problems. If you can avoid those chemicals and try using a drain snake instead.

Never pour grease down your sink

Grease can be harmful to pipes if it hardens inside the trap and cause back ups. The best way to dispose of your grease is to pour in a disposable container and let it harden before you throw it away.
