Spring is finally coming around the corner, bringing more sun and warm weather. This change in weather has its pros and cons, but water damage is one thing that you will need to watch out for. With spring comes the melting of snow and heavy rains, which can lead to basement floods. The best way to prevent water damage from happening to you is to prepare by protecting your home now.
Fortunately, many causes of spring home flooding can be prevented with simple steps. Here are some of the most common causes of spring home flooding. Our experts at 24 Restore have provided practical tips on how to prevent them. Taking these measures can help safeguard your property and prepare for the season ahead.
With rain and melting snow being a massive part of spring, your gutters will be utilized more now than during other seasons. Getting on top of unclogging the gutters is important before it becomes problematic. A clogged gutter means that debris is stuck somewhere inside of them, rendering the gutters useless. This can lead to an overflow that can leak into your basement and foundation. Before any heavy rains can hit, be sure to clean them out to ensure they are functioning correctly. If you notice that the gutters or downspouts are damaged in any way, get them repaired or replaced immediately. Being prepared ahead of time can save you hours of water cleanup and expenses.
If you have invested in a ground sprinkler system, ensuring they are well-maintained is essential, as it can become a massive water damage hazard. You will need to inspect and thoroughly clean your ground sprinkler system before spring hits. You can do this by testing for leaks and ensuring each sprinkler head functions correctly.
When sprinklers are not functioning correctly, they are known to remain open and distribute water even when shut off. If they are functioning properly, be sure that they are distributing the right amount of water. Sprinklers that are spraying too much water can create a pool of water that ultimately reaches your home and causes water damage.
Your basement is one of the most at-risk rooms in your home for flooding. You will need to put a lot of focus on this particular room to avoid water damage from happening to your home. Keep an eye on the condition of the foundation. Any cracks can allow water to seep through from the ground and into your basement. If you find any cracks or holes, be sure to patch them up with concrete patching.
Though you can take all the preventative measures there are, unforeseen problems can still inadvertently happen. It is entirely out of your control at that point despite your best efforts. However, water damage restoration doesn’t have to be. Professionals at 24Restore can ensure that any water damage issues you have will be handled swiftly. Don’t hesitate to call and trust our team with your home’s restoration project.
