Tips for Preventing Property Damage from Heavy Rain in Apple Valley?

We restore storm damage 24/7 in San Bernardino County.

Our local Hesperia/Apple Valley, Barstow/Twentynine Palms, and Victorville teams are trained and certified to restore property damage caused by heavy rains. Here are some potential issues that can be addressed before heavy rain hits, reducing the risk of water intrusion:

Roof Leaks

Heavy rain can expose weaknesses in a roof, such as missing or damaged shingles, cracked tiles, or poorly sealed flashing. When rainwater pools on the roof, it can seep through these vulnerable areas, leading to leaks inside the home. Over time, roof leaks can cause structural damage, rot, and mold growth in ceilings and walls.

Poor Drainage and Clogged Gutters

Inadequate drainage systems or clogged gutters can contribute to water intrusion. This causes water to overflow and pool around the foundation, increasing the risk of basement flooding, foundation damage, and water entering the lower levels of the home.

Foundation Cracks

Heavy rain causes soil saturation around a home, putting pressure on the foundation. If the foundation has cracks or weaknesses, water can seep through, leading to water intrusion. If not addressed, this can cause long-term structural issues.
