Water damage can happen at any time.

SERVPRO® of Hawaii|SERVPRO® of Maui responds to water damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Hilo because we know that swift action is necessary to avoid costly repairs. Water is very invasive and will seep into walls and under floors, causing hidden water damage to the structure if left untreated for too long. 

According to a study published by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IIBHS), homes older than thirty years were three times more likely to have a plumbing supply or drainage problem. Here are some loss prevention and maintenance tips from the IIBHS:

  • Visually inspect plumbing pipes annually, look for condensation around the pipes or an obvious leak and corrosion.
  • Pay attention to your water bill. A significant increase could indicate a leak.
  • Call a plumber at the first signs of rust-colored water, backed-up toilets or sinks, and cracked or warped flooring.
  • Check supply lines to household appliances to make sure they are installed properly and inspect to make sure there are no kinks in the line. If kinks are present, replace the hose.
