Protect Your Home From Water Damage This Summer

7/3/2019 (Permalink)

From cold and rainy to hot and dry, residents of Central Indiana have experienced the full range of extreme weather this spring and summer. We may not be able to control Mother Nature, but there are steps every homeowner can take to minimize the risk of water damage during the summer months.

*Ensure the proper grading of the property around your home to prevent water from draining toward the foundation. 

*Inspect your home for a crumbling, cracked or damaged foundation. Check for water pooling around the base of your home after a hard rain.

* Check your roof for damaged or missing shingles.

*Inspect the caulking around your chimney for damage where water may be able to enter.

*Clean gutters and downspouts of leaves and other debris that may prevent them from working properly.

*Keep trees near your home trimmed to prevent fallen branches during heavy winds and storms from damaging your property.
