Preventing Water Damage in the Laundry Room

Preventing water damage in your laundry room is important since many water problems originate there. Use this inspection guide for washers, dryers to prevent water damage.

 

 

The washer and drier are usually located in the laundry room and create heat and moisture. Simple maintenance is required to help avoiding water problems and mold.
The following guides lines are simple to follow and will provide good tips and indications for potential water damage that can be caused by the washer, the dryer, hoses, filters, and the utility sink.

Be sure to perform these inspections every few month and be thorough while performing them

The Washer

The washer is connected to both cold and hot water lines. Check them frequently. Start with the joints and fix a leak if you find it. Be sure to check both ends of the water lines. Clean or replace the filters once in a while. A blocked filter will slow the water flow into the washing machine, and may cause some malfunctions. This problem is worse in areas with hard water. Inspect the shut off valve by looking for drips into the washing machine while it is not in use. If you detect a leak, replace the valve.
