How to prevent water damage inside and outside of your home

Disconnect hoses – turn water off to outdoor sources before the temperatures drop below freezing.
Make sure you know where your main water valve is and there is a clear path to reach it.
Clean gutters and downspouts before the season starts. Consider making an investment in gutter covers, they are reliable. Ignoring your gutters can cause your foundation to be compromised if water runoff continues.
Clean downspouts to ensure water can flow through, and make sure they are pointing away from the house.

Monitor your water bill if you use public utilities. In front of your house there are pipes under your sidewalk that you are responsible for. A pipe can burst without any evidence of a leak in your home. If you notice large consumptions of water on your bill this might be a red flag.
