Garland water damage questions
What do I do when my water heater leaks?
Turn off the cold water valve on top of the tank and shut off the gas or the breaker. Then remove standing water and call a plumber for the heater and a restoration company for the damage.
How often should washing machine hoses be replaced?
Many manufacturers suggest about every five years. Braided stainless hoses resist bursting better than plain rubber ones.
Is washing machine water clean or dirty?
Supply line water is clean. Water from the drain or a running cycle is gray water, which needs cleaning and disinfecting during restoration.
