Wait...Where's the Water?!

Water losses can happen at any time to anyone. Keep an eye on the maintenance of your home or business to help prevent some potential losses.

It seems crazy to think that we are only a year or so removed from non-stop water claims.  We received thousands of phone calls here in NW Iowa for sump pump failures, sewer backups, water coming through foundations and even windows.  Fast forward 12+ months and we are talking drought and fire warnings just after the snow melts.  

Driving around all of NW Iowa and Southern Minnesota, its pretty obvious after looking at the lakes and rivers that they are suffering to start the year.  That could make for a rough boating year if we don't get some more after back into these lakes. 

While we are quite a ways down on the water table, that doesn't mean we should completely lower our guard to water damage.  Disaster can still strike through a heavy/fast rain event, a burst water line, of even a sewer backup.  

So while we wait for mother nature to bless us with more rain, take the time to be extra cautious of those things we can control such as burst water lines, water heater issues, etc.
