Avoid expensive repair bills with these easy tips for preventing water leaks in the home
With water a scarce resource in the UAE, extra-special care must be taken in the way it is consumed. If a water leak is overlooked, it can not only result in damages to the property, but also land you in hot water financially. This is exactly what happened to the Furniture wala family from Arabian Ranches when they complained about a lack of water coming into their villa. The investigation (home water leak inspection) ultimately led to the discovery of the leak half a metre below their parking space; and a subsequent water bill amounting to a staggering AED 54,000.
Cost of Dubai Water Leaks to Property:
The Furniture wala case highlights a number of grey areas in terms of mitigating water leaks. Water damage is a problem that most property owners dread. Aside from increasing the risk of mould growth, water leaks in the home can result in extensive financial setbacks due to damage incurred to wooden furniture, upholstery, electronics, household appliances, and plumbing equipment.
Causes of Water Damage:
Leaky dishwashers, clogged toilets, broken pipes, broken dishwasher hoses, overflowing washing machines, leaky roofs,
plumbing leaks, and foundation cracks are just some of the possible causes of water damage in homes and businesses. Once a home or business sustains water damage, it is important to start the water damage clean-up immediately in order to increase the likelihood of saving water-soaked furniture, carpets, rugs, clothing, and other items.
Health Hazards Associated with Home Water Leaks:
As aforementioned, moisture promotes the growth of mould and other organisms, increasing the risk for serious health problems. Mould exposure may aggravate allergy and asthma symptoms, especially in children and people with compromised immune systems. Exposure may also increase the risk for respiratory diseases and other medical problems. Cleaning up immediately can help mitigate the health effects of water damage on everyone in a home or commercial space.
Restoration Process:
Using the right procedures and materials in order to restore the damage caused by a water leak is essential in order to safeguard the rest of the home against further damage or deterioration. As such, the success for
water damage restoration
depends on the severity of the damage and the amount of water that caused the damage. Water in basement areas may only require a short clean-up process, but water in other areas of a property will require extensive remediation.
