Water leaks can cause damage to your home. Paying for water lost through leaks can also cost you money. And the fresh water wasted through water leaks is not good for the environment. So, good home maintenance includes checking for leaks and signs of water damage.
Damage[]
Water where it should not be can rot or rust other materials. The dampness can encourage the growth of mold, which can be bad for your health. Water leaks can also lead to dry rot.
