Most homeowners know they have water shut-off valves. Far fewer know whether those valves actually work. You’ll typically find individual shutoffs serving toilets, sinks, washing machines, and other fixtures, along with a main water shutoff controlling water entering the home.

Air conditioners don’t just cool your home. They also remove moisture from the air. That moisture condenses on the cooling coil and typically drains safely through the HVAC condensate system. During humid weather in Northwest Indiana, an air-conditioning system may remove a substantial amount of moisture.

Your refrigerator runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Yet many homeowners never think about maintaining it until it stops cooling.

Supply connections, shutoff valves, seals, and surrounding areas can develop leaks. Visible moisture around the base of a toilet, staining, corrosion, or any unusual condition warrants attention.

Clothes dryers expel a significant amount of warm, moist air. That air needs an unobstructed path through the lint screen, dryer duct, and exterior vent.
