Get Ready For Spring Storms

3/16/2021 (Permalink)

Spring weather is right around the corner, and spring storms are just a part of that.  Instability in the atmosphere contributes to a high rate of thunderstorms during the spring months.  Water damage due to these storms is common, so homeowners and business owners alike are looking for ways to prevent and limit the extent of the damage.

There are a number of ways you can prevent potential weather damage and prepare for severe weather before disaster strikes:

Clean out gutters and downspouts

When gutters are clogged, water can pool on the roof. This can lead to increased weight on the roof, as well as water flowing into small cracks, and into your home.  Clean your gutters of twigs and leaves to ensure proper drainage.

Check your sump pump

If your sump pump is not working properly, it may fail to pump all the necessary water away from your home or business.  This could lead to water pooling in your basement, leading to water damage.  Make sure the pump is connected correctly and working well.

Inspect the foundation

Even a small crack can let a lot of water in over time.  Check your foundation for these cracks, and seal any that you find.

We have the skilled technicians and specialized equipment needed for your storm damage remediation needs.  That’s why SERVPRO of Norwalk/Wilton should be your first call. Contact us at 203.324.1642 for assistance.
