We’ve all heard the horror stories of coming home to flooded basement or pulling the wall apart to discover a furry, moldy mess. We really hope that you never have to experience the devastation, frustration, and overwhelming situation of water damage and so today, we wanted to share with you several ways that you can prevent an accident that has you calling your local water damage restoration company.
Think about where you plant.
When you are landscaping your home or updating your yard, it is easy to forget that where you plant your dream garden or your favorite tree can have consequences for your home. Some plants and trees such as weeping willows can be the culprits of major plumbing problems that can lead to massive water damage. Your sprinkler, drainage, septic systems can all be victims to tree roots that can crush, bore holes through, and more. Being strategic about where you plant trees, bushes and other plants is a must. If you’re not sure where to plant that beautiful weeping willow tree consult a professional landscaper. Need to move an existing tree? Call our local arborist!
Check your roof gutters.
It’s easy to forget about our gutters, but these simple yet useful pieces of our home’s drainage system can create unforgettable water damage. Cleaning out your gutters regularly, especially after the leaves have fallen from your trees is an absolute must. Leaves, dirt, small branches, seed pods, and other debris can clog up your gutters and cause water to overflow during the next big thunderstorm or when the snow and ice from your home begins to melt. Overflowing water then flows down the side of your home making its way into your foundation, basement, and roof.
