They were invented to make our lives easier and save time. Because of them, we can focus on more enjoyable things. We don’t know about you, but washing dishes and clothes by hand or boiling water for a hot bath are not things we really want to spend our time doing. While appliances and fixtures can make life a breeze, they can also be the culprits of some serious water damage. Still, the pros outweigh the cons by a long shot. It never hurts to be aware though, so here are the top 5 appliances and fixtures most likely to cause water damage:

1. Toilet

2. Water Heater

3. Air Conditioner

4. Washing Machine

5. Refrigerator

6. Dishwasher

One thing to keep in mind...appliances/fixtures on the upper level of a multi-level home can cause the most damage due to water leaking from the top floor down into the lower floor.
