Prepare Your Home For Rain!

Prepare your home for rain to prevent potential damage and ensure the safety and comfort of your living space.

Here are some tips on how to prepare your home for rain:

 

Gutter Maintenance:

Maintain the integrity of your home by regularly cleaning gutters and downspouts to prevent clogs. This ensures efficient water drainage, minimizing the risk of potential damage to your roof and foundation.

Roof Inspection and Repair:

Inspect and promptly repair missing or damaged shingles on your roof to prevent leaks during heavy rain.

Sealing Windows and Doors:

Effectively seal windows and doors using weatherstripping or caulk to prevent water infiltration through gaps or cracks. This enhances energy efficiency, minimizes drafts, and serves as a strong defense against rainwater seepage during inclement weather, ensuring the overall integrity of your home.

Tree Trimming for Safety:

Trim overhanging tree branches to minimize the risk of breakage during strong winds, reducing potential damage to your roof or windows.

Drain Maintenance:

Maintain the functionality of your property’s stormwater drains by regularly cleaning them to prevent water pooling. Remove any debris that may obstruct the flow, ensuring efficient drainage during heavy rainfall and minimizing the risk of water-related issues. This proactive approach contributes to the overall protection and resilience of your property against potential water damage.

Securing Outdoor Items:

Take proactive measures to secure outdoor items, protecting them from potential damage due to heavy rain and wind. This not only ensures the safety of your belongings but also contributes to the overall integrity and longevity of your outdoor living space, making it more resilient in challenging weather conditions.

Emergency Preparedness:

Maintain emergency supplies, including a flashlight, batteries, and important documents, for potential power outages or weather-related emergencies.

Skylight Check:

Inspect existing skylights for cracks and holes. Cover damaged skylights and contact our skylight experts promptly for repairs. Clear debris around skylights for optimal functioning.

By following these concise precautions under each category, you protect your home from rain-related damage, creating a safer living environment.
