Protecting your home from water damage

by

For the past 22 years, I’ve run Steamatic, a company that specializes in “insurance loss,” which is the clean up, rebuilding & remediation that happens after water damage, sewer back up, fires and mold. During that time, I have noticed certain situations that could be prevented by maintenance.

It is importance to first understand how much damage and how quickly the damage will intensify when water enters your home. Here are some things to remember:

  1. The longer something is wet, the more damage that will occur
  2. Wet carpet (and in particular the padding underneath) will spread the water to new, unaffected areas
  3. As water travels from room to room, the walls can start to soak up the water, thus adding to your damage
  4. This is a major issue that can be prevented by acting quickly.
  5. “Secondary damage” is when there is so much water (and humidity) that other areas of your home are affected even though they did not get wet

Protect Your Jewelry From Thieves

by

Whether it’s an engagement ring, a wedding ring or a family heirloom, your jewelry is something that is personally important to you.

It is more than just a ring or a bracelet. These important, and often valuable, items represent wonderful memories that have been created throughout your life and are irreplaceable.

Just think of something that someone you love gave to you as a child. You can’t put a financial price tag on a gift, can you? You wouldn’t take any amount of money for that either, would you?

by

We have discussed the importance of protecting your home with a security system & the cost benefits of a monitored alarm system. But what if you live in an apartment complex?
