3 Common Household Emergencies (And How to Avoid Them)


  1. Burst washing machine hose – As rubber washing machine hoses age, they eventually wear down and burst, causing costly flooding. Consider switching to a stainless-steel reinforced hose.

  2. Leaky roof – Mother Nature is pretty tough on your roof. Regularly check your roof for missing or damaged shingles.

  3. Refrigerator Leaks – Like your washing machine, the refrigerator is a common culprit in home floods. Ensure your water line is unkinked and in good condition.
