A water break can happen in a variety of ways in your home. A sump pump can fail, flooding can occur, but one of the most common is an old water heater. 

Water heaters are not meant to last a lifetime in a home. The corrosion will build up and damage the tank, which leads to leaking and water damage in your home. The best way to avoid having that water damage emergency is to set a replacement date before the first signs of trouble occur in your water heater. 

Many people do not know this, but water heaters should be inspected after ten years in use. Some customers even chose to replace their's sooner as to stay away from unforeseen damages. 

Water damage happens from time to time, but taking steps to stop them from occurring can make them less-likely in your home.
