You've just bought your first house! Congratulations! Now, it's time to make sure you're taking care of it to keep it in the best condition as possible. Below are tips to avoid a water disaster in your new home. 

• Check your water heater for leaks- If you notice leaking from your water heater, check to see if it is a valve or the tank. If the water is coming from the tank, you should replace it immediately.  A leaky tank can burst at anytime, causing an instant flood.
• Shut off water before a vacation-When you're away, you aren't worrying about what could be happening at home, but you could come home to a complete disaster, causing you thousands of dollars in water damage. 
• Locate your main water shut off valve- This can help you control your water that is coming into your house to control a flooding situation.
