Seasonal changes take a toll on HVAC and plumbing systems. As summer approaches you may want to be on the lookout for leaks and conditions that could cause mold or mildew to appear.
If mold damage is the result of poor ventilation, neglect or an issue that could have been prevented, your insurance company may reject your claim.
- Use air conditioners, fans and dehumidifiers to keep your home dry.
- Clean air conditioning filters and install leak detectors in your kitchen, laundry room and bathroom a the beginning of the summer.
- Check faucets to ensure that none of them are dripping.
- If there are any plumbing problems, get them fixed right away.
