Handyman Insurance – Avoid Incidental Water Damage
When you are replacing a faucet, installing a new washing machine, or unclogging a sink, if you are not careful, you can cause water damage to a client’s home. Before you start working on any project that involves plumbing, here are some helpful tips to keep in mind.
- Make sure to turn off the water.
- Check for leaks before leaving the job site when turning the water back on.
- If you need to cut into drywall, ensure there’s no piping you can hit with a drill or saw.
- The interior of a home isn’t the only place water damage can occur. It can also happen outside if you’re helping a homeowner with landscaping. If you need to dig in someone’s yard, locate the pipes before starting, so you don’t hit them.
