Springtime usually calls for thunderstorms and heavy rains. We are used to it. But here is a friendly reminder to prepare your home before these heavy rains come your way. Water damage can occur to your home through roof leaks, floods, drain backups, and more.

Prepare for Heavy Rains

There are many ways to prepare your home for heavy rains. It is important to have all these below checked off your list to make sure your home does not suffer from water damage:

• Check your gutters: Keep gutters clean and damage-free, and direct water away from your house with downspout extensions.
• Check your roof: Replace missing shingles, repair damage, and keep flashing sealed. It’s worth the effort.
• Check your sump pump: You don’t want to wait till a rainstorm happens to find out your sump pump isn’t working properly. The worst thing that can happen is that your sump pump malfunctions and next thing you know there is a foot of water in your basement.
