Our local Hesperia/Apple Valley and Barstow/Twentynine Palms, Victorville teams respond to storm damage emergencies every year. Although it seldom rains in June in Hesperia, it is always good to inspect your home and seal any gaps and cracks around windows, doors, and foundations.

After any rainfall, it is a good idea to inspect rain gutters and attic spaces for water damage and make repairs right away. Here are some tips from home expert Bob Villa for determining if your rain gutters are damaged:

Inspect your rain gutters for visible signs of cracking. Use binoculars to inspect for smaller cracks. If you see extensive cracking, replacement is required.

Inspect gutter seams for damage where two horizontal sections meet.

Inspect your home’s paint job. If there is evidence of paint peeling, it may point to rain gutter failure. Check the section of the rain gutter closest to the paint damage for leaks. If there are more than a couple of leaks, you may want to replace the rain gutters.

Inspect your home’s exterior wood elements for rotting windowsills or door jambs. You may have clogged rain gutters or inadequate storm drainage.

Inspect the exterior of the home for mildew damage. If there is moisture accumulating around or near the foundation, mildew can grow. This is a sign your rain gutters are not working properly.
