Know Your Shutoffs
Locate your main water shutoff valve before an emergency. It's usually near the water meter or where the main line enters your home.
Test Your Sump Pump
Pour water into the pit to ensure it activates. Test before storm season begins.
Flush Your Water Heater
Annual flushing removes sediment that reduces efficiency and shortens lifespan. Especially important with Florida's hard water.
Never Use Chemical Drain Cleaners
They can damage pipes and are harmful to septic systems. Call a professional for stubborn clogs.
Check Washing Machine Hoses
Replace rubber hoses every 3-5 years. Upgrade to braided stainless steel for peace of mind.
Install Drain Screens
