3 Ways to Keep Your Home Free of Water Damage

Heavy spring rains can cause basements to flood and water damage to outside walls and ceilings.

Avoid water damage to your home by doing 3 simple things:

1. Check all your gutters and downspouts for blockages that can cause overflows and damage to outside walls and ceilings.
2. Make sure all downspouts have a splash block or drain tile.  Drain tile should carry water at least 2 feet from the home. If drain tile is underground, run water through it to see if it’s draining.
3. Check for any low spots next to foundation walls that would let water pool, run down the wall and into the basement.
