April Showers Can Mean Homeowner Headaches

4/19/2020 (Permalink)

April has always been known for the many rain showers that occur. In an effort to ensure that the showers do not damage your home, it is important for you to act before the rain comes! Here are some things you can check to prevent damage to your home! 

Check your roof. The shingles can be damaged or just worn down which can create a mess for a homeowner. Make sure you check around the chimney. This can be a place that can easily be damaged during a storm. 

Check your foundation. A crack in the foundation can lead to water damaging the home. To prevent water damage, look around your house for puddles, leaks, moisture on the walls, and moisture around the windows. 

Check the seals in your home. Around windows and doors, check the caulking which over time can become a major issue. If you are unsure whether it needs it, ask a professional to look at the seal to see whether it needs to be redone or not. 

If this April you notice an issue in your home such as water in area where it does not belong, call SERVPRO of Bryan, Effingham, McIntosh, and East Liberty Counties.
