Visiting friends this Easter? Just for the day, or are you off for three weeks in Bombay? If the latter, you'll need water damage insurance. While many things can go wrong in your home, especially while you're away, one of the easiest potential catastrophes to prevent is damage from a water leak, or worse, a pipe or supply line that bursts. Such a mishap could send hundreds of gallons of water an hour cascading through your home, soaking and destroying everything in it's path. And, when hours turn into days, the damage grows and its cost steadily rises. Inspecting and replacing washing machine hoses and supply lines, under sinks is a good start, but for absolute water damage insurance, simply turn off the main-inlet valve (where water enters the home) when you leave. Upon your return, reopen the valve first thing, and you're back in business. For more tips, visit our Web site at onthehouse.com. And that's the On The House tip for today.
