Checking for damaged pipes and leaky roofs is a wise move that would help prevent water damage. Also, you may want to check for cracks on the foundations of your home. Sealing the cracks is one way to keep water from leaking inside in case of storms, especially if you live in a coastal area. These simple measures can help prevent disasters in your home and save you a lot of money.
