This is Alarming!
Don’t believe me?
Some of my students have not followed this advice and lost thousands of $$$ in damage.
Don’t let it happen to you!
Water is insidious. Damaging leaks are often unheard and unseen until they have caused major damage, like rotted wood, mold and ceilings falling from the weight of the water.
You have tools to prevent BIG problems.
Where do you need alarms? Add them behind the fridge, washer, water heater, water softener and more. These inexpensive alarms run on batteries so you will have to check or replace batteries every 6 months. In my own house, an alarm alerted me to a leak behind the fridge. What a relief to hear that alarm sound and know something is wrong. I was able to tighten a nut and stop the drip before is lead to significant issues. This is what smart homeownership is about – preventing and solving problems.
