• Check your refrigerator water supply lines to the ice and water dispensers. Some manufacturers install fragile plastic lines which over time could be subject to crimping and tearing, and potential water leaks. Upgrading your supply line to a copper line could help you avoid water damage.
• Inspect your washing machine hose. Rubber water hoses could become brittle and crack over time. Replace worn or damaged hoses with a burst-proof hose to help prevent water damage.
• Review water supply lines to your sinks and toilets. These lines can become loose or worn and potentially burst. Replacing these lines when needed is an easy task that could save you time and money.
• Inspect exterior spigots. Although many are now considered “frost-free”, exterior spigots can still freeze in certain conditions. Check for leaks and continue to monitor throughout the spring and summer seasons.
