A Necessary Part of Life

When we think of water, what comes to mind? What comes to me is the fact that it is a necessary part of life. It's actually extremely important in the lives of every single person. The main goal for each of us is to keep the water where it is supposed to be. Water damage happens when water gets "out of control" and leaks or flows from an area that is supposed to be a containment area. Pipes, toilets, faucets are a few examples of where water resides on a property.

Having a home with defective pipe can be a nightmare. I own a home that was built with Quest recalled pipe. I've had multiple pipe bursts over the years, and one as recently as a couple months ago. I'm used to having water where it's not supposed to be! Possibly even worse, is having a burst pipe under the slab. This may run undetected for days, making the water bill extremely high. This is what happened to me recently, and my bill was $880. Luckily, the City of Winston Salem agreed to credit most of it except for charges that would be typical of two month's water use.
