Plants around your home? Gutters full of leaves? Downspouts unattached? High water bills? These are all signs of potential water damage. 

• be careful where you plant trees and plants- some plants have invasive roots
• clean out roof gutters- debris causes build up of water with no place to go
• keep an eye on your water bill- extreme differences could show a leak
• us a drain snake instead of chemicals- chemicals can potentially eat through your pipes
• NEVER POUR GREASE DOWN YOUR SINK- even if the water is running, it can and will clog your drains
