Water damage in homes can be caused by many things, but there are a couple things in your home more likely to be the cause than others. The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety did a study to find what causes the most water damage in homes, here are some of the things they found out.

• Plumbing System Failure- there are two types of plumbing system failure the first would be frozen pipes, the second would be material failures.
• Plumbing Drain System Failure- most failures occur when the sewer drain backs up and overflows into the home or are a result from material issues such as leaking or corroded pipes.
• Toilet Failure- this will happen if you have faulty valves or clogged drain lines
• Water Heater Failure- these usually happen when your water heater is at its end of life and begins to corrode or rust.
• Washing Machine Failure- the cause behind washing machine failure usually from the supply-line, machine overflow or drain line failure.
