Spring Cleaning

4/25/2024 (Permalink)

It is finally starting to feel like spring out there! With the nicer weather approaching it is time to start tackling that spring cleaning list we’ve been writing all winter! There are a few things we think you should add to protect your home from water damage this season!

*Clean Gutters and Downspouts: Make sure that these are cleaned out so that water can move properly and away from your home.

*Foundation Check: Inspect your foundation for any cracks and seal them to prevent water damage to the foundation.

*Appliance Inspections: Check all hoses that run to any appliance. Make sure to replace any hoses that seem cracked or worn in any way.

*Roof Inspection: Check for any damaged or worn shingles. Take a look in the attic to see if there is any water damage to the underside of the roof.

*Basement Maintenance: Inspect your basement for any leaks or signs of damage. Check your sump pump to ensure it is working properly. Consider adding a battery back up to your sump pump to prevent flooding in case of a power outage.

By incorporating these spring-cleaning tasks, you can proactively address potential water issues and protect your home from costly damage.

As always, we are here to assist with any water and fire damage remediation.
