Can a water leak be covered by homeowners insurance?

• <div><p>In many cases, homeowners insurance can and does cover water leaks. If your plumbing is leaking because of an unexpected accident or breakdown, your policy likely covers the cost to remediate the problem. But if you simply haven’t been keeping up with appliance and fixture maintenance, you may not be able to get reimbursed for the repair.</p><p>Your homeowners insurance may also cover a water leak from your roof, particularly if the leak was caused by storm damage. If the leak stems from simple wear and tear on your roof—that is, your roof is old, and it’s about time to replace it—homeowners insurance likely won’t help.</p></div>

Why is my wall wet but there’s no leak?

• <div><p>If your wall is wet, but there isn’t a leak, it’s likely a result of humidity and condensation from running a hot shower or cooking in the kitchen. The best way to remedy this issue is to run the fan in the bathroom when you’re showering or in the kitchen when you’re cooking. You can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-does-dehumidifier-do.htm">use a dehumidifier</a> to help remove moisture from the air.</p></div>

Q: Why does my outside spigot have no pressure?

• <div><p>There are a multitude of causes for low water pressure in outdoor spigots. Normally, the water just gushes right out of them, but a soft trickle happens if the spigot itself is old or damaged. If parts are misplaced or worn down, the water pressure won't be as high as it should be. More complex causes include ruptured water lines and problems with the water meter.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to winterize an outdoor sink?

• <div><p>Yes, if you live in a climate with extended periods of frost or snow, it&rsquo;s best to winterize the sink and avoid potential bursting. Similar to winterizing a garden hose, turn off your water from the source. Once turned off, open the faucet so the remaining water completely drains out. You can also pour a small amount of antifreeze down the sink drain so any trapped water won&rsquo;t freeze.</p></div>

Q: What are some uses for a spigot?

• <div><p>You can use the outdoor spigot to do many things like cleaning patio furniture, washing down driveways, or watering plants. You can also attach outdoor hoses and some sprinkler systems to your spigot, making it much easier to keep your grass and plants watered. When connecting a hose or sprinkler system to your outdoor spigot, pay close attention to the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions, as they can ensure a snug fit with no leaks.</p></div>
