Inspecting your home’s exterior for areas that may allow water into the structure is a good idea. Here are some tips from Insurance Information Institute for protecting your home from storm damage:
Exterior Inspection and Repair
Rainwater can be prevented from entering a structure’s exterior through routine inspection and maintenance and making repairs as needed.
- Caulk and seal windows
- Inspect the roof for missing and aging shingles
- Check rain gutters and drainage systems and remove any debris
- Check downspouts and clear any clogs and make sure they are draining away from the structure
- Check sprinkler systems and make sure the sprinklers are not spraying water onto the structure and that water is not pooling around the structure’s foundation
- Make sure water drains away from the building.Water is invasive and will easily find its way into a home when water pools around the foundation.
- After a storm, or when the ground is already saturated by rainwater, the water may enter into the foundation wall through any cracks
