Water damage is one of the most common disruptions for homeowners. It usually happens at a time when you least expect it. Luckily SERVPRO of Chatsworth / Stevenson Ranch has some tips on how you can protect your home from the unexpected water damage!

1. Irreplaceable valuables should be protected. Try to water proof them by sealing them in plastic bags and storing them in a higher place.
2. Monitor your drains. Make sure they are clean and clear for water flow.
3. Make sure your roof is sealed and protected. Monitor monthly to make sure it is being well taken care of.
4. Monitor your tiles and grout in heavily wet areas such as the bathroom and kitchen. Look for cracks and re-seal if necessary.
5. Monitor your appliance hoses.
6. Turn off your water before a long trip away.
7. Regularly have your water heater serviced.

These are just some of the small tips that could help prevent a major water damage in your home. SERVPRO is faster to any size disaster. If the problem should arise, give us a call at 818-842-1400
