How to Stop Small Leaks From Becoming Big Problems
Posted: January 28, 2015

Water damage to your home can be costly and even harmful. The worst part is that you may not even realize there’s a problem because you can’t see anything. Unfortunately, by the time you see water and realize there’s a problem, the damage has been done.

We’ve seen water damage ruin floors, cause walls to rot, and lead to mold, all before the homeowner even realizes there’s a leak. This can happen when a dishwasher, washing machine, refrigerator, or other appliance springs a leak that you can’t see. The water can cause extensive damage to your floors, walls, and furniture.

But what if you don’t even know there’s a problem?

We have the answer: install a leak detector. Here at 911 Service Today, we install one on every water-supplied appliance we service in the greater Charleston area. The leak detector sits by your appliances and alerts you when it detects water that shouldn’t be there (aka, a leak).

Avoid extensive (& expensive) water damage

Sometimes, what starts out as a small leak can turn into a big flood. A full 30% of in-home floods are caused by appliances, according to a study by Roto-Rooter.

Repairs from water damage can be costly and easily run into the thousands of dollars due to

  • Hardwood floor damage
  • Carpet damage
  • Wall damage
  • Destroyed furniture
  • Leaks through the floor/ceiling below
  • Mold growth
  • And more

It’s crucial to stop leaks before they grow into a big problem. Fortunately, we have the solution!

Leak detector devices that prevent water damage

Leak detectors like these can prevent leaks from becoming damaging floods in your home

The leak detectors we install are a simple and effective way to lower the chances of suffering appliance-related flood and water damage. One of our technicians places the small device on or by your washing machine, dishwasher, refrigerator, and any other water-supplied appliance. The battery-operated device doesn’t need any programming or maintenance. It couldn’t be easier to use. You won’t even know it’s there unless you need it.

If it goes off, call us morning, noon, or middle of the night. We will be there fast! We will retrieve the leak detector, check for the cause of the leak, and make the necessary repairs to ensure you’re not left with a mess on your hands and a huge bill to pay.
