As we usually see this time of year, we’re expected to get more rain over the next week or so, and rain brings with it the potential for water damage at home. Here’s some tips for protecting your home from rain:
Check your foundation: do a check of your foundation to ensure there’s no holes or cracks that need to be sealed.
Check exterior paint: heavy rain can be damaging to exterior paint, check to ensure there’s no bubbles or cracks in the paint, and repair if necessary.
Check your gutters: make sure your gutters are clear and that your downspouts are facing away from the home.
Check your basement: do a walk around your basement and check for any moist spots, which could be the result of existing problem areas and water damage.
Check your roof: missing shingles or damaged roofs are problem areas when it rains, and you’ll want to repair damage on the roof before interior damage occurs.
