A Dripping Faucet Can be Destructive

Ring Ring… Ring Ring… Ring Ri… Snooze.

If you’re like most Americans, 57% to be accurate, you hit the snooze button on your alarm at least once every single morning. Whether that extra 5 or 15 minutes is going to benefit or hurt your morning, that is entirely up to you.

Drip Drop… Drip Drop… Drip Drop…

Unfortunately, there is no snooze button to stop the flow of water or prevent further water damage. Once water damage has occurred each minute that you snooze yourself away from taking action against it can become more and more harmful towards your property. Within minutes of the water leak, piping malfunction, or one of the other numerous ways water damage can occur, the water quickly spreads throughout your property. Absorbing into walls, floors, and other easily susceptible areas of your home. Your personal belongings such as photos, important documents, family heirlooms, and electronic devices can be completely destroyed and unsalvageable during that first 15 minute window.

Spring Spring… Into Into… Action Action…

Locating your water shutoff valves can be a hassle when you only have a few minutes left on the clock to prevent further damage. Don’t catch yourself snoozing – it is important to know the location of all your major water shut off valves so that you can quickly spring into action and minimalize the damage to your home and belongings. While 15 minutes of extra sleep goes by in a flash in the morning; that 15 minutes is all the leaky pipe needs to destroy memories while taking cash out of your pocket.
