One common cause of water damage comes from old, corroded water heaters. Here are some steps that can be taken to minimize the risk of property damage from a water heater failure:

Regular Maintenance: Schedule annual inspections and maintenance for your water heater to check for signs of wear and tear, rust, or other issues.

Install a Drain Pan: Place a drain pan underneath the water heater to catch any leaks and direct the water away from the surrounding area.

Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve: Ensure that the water heater's temperature and pressure relief valve are functioning properly and have a discharge pipe to safely release excess pressure.

Shut-Off Valve: Consider installing a shut-off valve for your water heater. This allows you to quickly cut off the water supply in case of a leak.

Fast action in the event of a water heater failure is imperative to minimize property damage. If you discover water heater damage, shut off the unit's water supply, electricity, or gas, and contact a plumbing professional and restoration service if significant damage has occurred.
