Plumbing Tips to Save Your Bathroom from Costly Repairs

A few preventive measures can save you thousands in bathroom water damage.

• Replace supply line hoses every 5 years — they’re cheap insurance against flooding
• Recaulk your tub and shower annually — dried caulk lets water behind walls
• Fix running toilets immediately — a running toilet wastes up to 200 gallons per day
• Check under sinks monthly — a quick look catches drips before they cause damage
• Install water leak sensors — affordable devices that alert you to water where it shouldn’t be
• Know your shutoff valve location — seconds matter during a plumbing emergency
