Protecting your Branson Condo from Water Damage

3/2/2021 (Permalink)

From burst pipes to appliance leaks, to hot water heater and HVAC problems water damage is the number one cause of loss among condominium owners. 

Many of the scenarios we see for water damages in the Branson area are out of a condo owner’s control—like a toilet overflow from an upstairs neighboring unit that allows water to leak through the ceiling to the condo below, most water damages could be prevented by taking preventative measures.  

Appliance Malfunction

Appliances with pipes or water lines such as refrigerators, ice makers, dish washers, toilet and washing machines may malfunction and can quickly cause significant damage. Installing a leak detection sensor or an automatic water shut off device would be a good idea for properties such as vacation homes or condos that are unoccupied for extended periods of time. A simple drain pan under your washing machine can help prevent machine overflow or water line hose failures.

Frozen and Burst Pipes

Your condo is at risk for frozen or burst pipes when temperatures drop, set your heat at a minimum of 65 when you are away and it would be a good idea to have someone check in on your condo periodically.
