Vacation Disaster

2/5/2020 (Permalink)

You’ve just returned from a relaxing vacation. What could be worse than opening your door and finding your Holliston, MA home is flooded?

Unfortunately, this happens all too often: the second most common homeowner insurance claim is for water damage. Whether it’s from a ruptured washing machine hose, leaky supply line or burst pipe, the consequences can be devastating. And, if water has been present for more than 48 hours, you may also have mold damage.

To help avoid a water disaster while you’re away:

• Test your sump pump and check for leaky pipes
• Check and replace old or damaged supply lines to your washing machine, dishwasher, water heater and refrigerator
• Turn off the water supply to your washing machine
• Clean your gutters and drain pipes
