Shut off Water Before Vacation
Another homeowner returned from a vacation to find their ceiling on the floor. During a Jersey cold snap this house sustained a flood when a second floor bathroom pipe burst and ran for long time before someone noticed and was able to turn the water off. It is a good idea to turn off the water to your house before you leave for a vacation so this situation can be avoided. If you are not going to turn the water off then at least have someone check on your house so if there is s problem it won't go unnoticed for a long period of time.
