We can’t control spring weather, but as a home or business owner, you can minimize the risk of water damage to your property and its numerous systems. Your trusted water damage restoration contractor, Elements of Restoration, shares three helpful ways you can prevent and address water damage this spring.
1. Protect Your Basement
Residential and commercial properties built close to bodies of water or situated in flood zones often have recurring basement flooding. You can address this problem by protecting this area of your property through a sump pump or a sewer backflow valve installation. You can also install a water alarm system to warn you every time water is accumulating in your basement.
2. Keep A Well-Maintained Roof
Routine inspections and maintenance are imperative to ensure your roofing system is in good condition. In doing so, you protect your home or business from leaks, which can lead to moisture damage inside your property.
3. Clean and Inspect Your Property
Before moisture from torrential rains and other inclement weather conditions wreak havoc on your property, be sure to inspect every part of it and do some cleaning. Check your doors and windows for any leaks or drafts. Paint and seal your exterior walls or invest in high-quality siding to protect your home or business from the threat of the elements. Remove debris from your gutters and downspouts to ensure proper water runoff. Keep your landscaping intact by trimming trees and bushes as well as inspecting the grading around your property.
