A leak in your home can damage the house itself, as well as\nyour furniture, flooring, electronics, clothing, and other possessions. Even a\nsmall amount of water can cause substantial damage. You may be faced with\ncostly bills for repairs, mold removal, and replacement of belongings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When people think about potential sources of water damage\nto their homes, storms and natural disasters usually come to mind. A leak from\na pipe or appliance is actually more common. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a leak occurs, detecting it quickly and shutting off the\nwater supply to the house can mitigate the damage. You may not notice a leak\nright away or may not be home when it happens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A plumber can install a flow-based water leak detection\ndevice on your home\u2019s water supply line. The device can monitor the water\u2019s\nflow rate, pressure, or temperature. If it detects evidence of a leak, the\ndevice can automatically shut off the supply of water to your house to limit\nthe damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moisture sensors can be placed in rooms where a leak may\noccur, such as the kitchen and bathrooms. If there is a leak and the sensors\nare connected to an automatic shut-off valve, it can stop the flow of water to\nthe house and minimize the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A flow-based water leak detection device, moisture sensors, and automatic shutoff valve can prevent catastrophic water damage, but even a minor leak can leave you with expensive bills to repair your home and to replace possessions that were damaged or destroyed. That\u2019s where your homeowner’s insurance policy can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if you currently have coverage, it\u2019s a good idea to\nreview it periodically. Your needs may have changed since you took out the\npolicy. If the value of your home and\/or your belongings has increased, you may\nneed to raise your coverage limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may also be able to get the same coverage at a lower\nrate from a different company. If you currently have homeowners and other types\nof insurance through two or more insurers, you may be eligible for a\nsubstantial discount if you bundle your policies through one company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
