Recent Flood Could Have Been Avoided

Recently, a member of the Grove Team came home to a gushing laundry room faucet. The water had not gotten past the tile in the hall, but the entire event could have been a disaster had she come home a few hours later.





This reminded me to mention that anyone who might be leaving a home vacant for any period of time should cap off the laundry room and ice maker faucets. The parts to do so are about $10 and could prevent thousands of dollars in damage.





This is just one way a homeowner can eliminate the possibility of water damage while not occupying a residence. Although some owners choose to cut off the water at the street, this step can create a great deal of inconvience. Taking smaller steps, such as cutting off water to toilets and capping laundry room faucets can prevent accidents without making water unavailable to all visitors.
