Hockessin Homeowners Can Take Several Steps to Mitigate Potential Water Damage.

The best way to limit potential water damage to your Hockessin residence is to prepare for it beforehand. There are several time-tested measures residents can take to protect their homes from the harmful effects of water and save themselves time and money in the long run.

As SERVPRO’s Hockessin water mitigation experts know, water is often one of your home’s primary enemies. It can impact your residence via leaky or burst pipes, roof and ceiling leaks, appliance malfunctions, or corroded water storage containers. When water does affect your living spaces, it could destroy household contents, cause the proliferation of mold growths, produce persistent, pungent odors, cause basement flooding, promote structure-destroying dry rot, and necessitate thousands of dollars in water damage remediation. Therefore, it pays to know how to protect your living spaces from the water before it does any damage.

Some ways you can prevent or mitigate potential water damage are:

• Having your home periodically inspected for roof and foundation issues, water damage, and possible leaks
• Keeping up with appliance maintenance by having them routinely examined by professionals for any potential problems
• Properly maintain your roof by keeping its gutters and drainage network clean, retiling it when necessary, and replacing it after the suggested time 
• Ensuring that drainage systems on your property are clear and allow water to drain away from your home
• Remaining vigilant against potential water leaks, watching out for their telltale signs, and not being lazy to address them properly

If none of these measures avert a leak, rest assured that SERVPRO of Hockessin/Elsmere can usually fulfill all of your water mitigation needs. So, whenever you need help, call us at (302) 992-0104.
