Lots of things around your house could be causing water damage to your home and you might not even know it.

Here's a list of potential problems to keep an eye out for. 

Leaks in the Plumbing System The most common and obvious source of water damage in your home is a leak in the plumbing system. 

Clogged Gutters and Downspouts Most homeowners are guilty of overlooking their gutters, and only clean them when they really have to. 

Old and Faulty Appliances A lot of people don’t know this, but old and faulty appliances can also lead to water damage.

Blocked Toilets Your toilet blocks when excess solid material goes down the toilet and clogs the drains.

Burst Pipes Pipes are likely to burst when the temperature of the house drops drastically. The ice in the pipes will expand rapidly, which makes the pipes burst.
