Winter storms have the potential to inflict extensive harm on both the exterior and interior of our homes. An effective method to mitigate further damage in the aftermath of such a storm is to conduct a comprehensive inspection of your entire property to identify any unresolved issues or newly emerged problems.
Here are some crucial aspects to consider in and around your home to proactively avert future damage:
Examine all window and exterior door seals and jambs to ensure there is no water intrusion or signs of water staining from the storm.
Clear all gutters of branches and debris to ensure proper functioning.
Inspect the home's siding for any holes or storm-induced damage.
Maintain yard cleanliness to prevent drainage blockage, allowing water to flow as intended during future storms.
Inspect the roof for leaks or damage that may have occurred during the storm, as a roof leak can result in significant water infiltration.
Any of these potential issues can lead to severe problems down the line, including water intrusion and potential indoor contamination.
If you discover any of these problems or suspect water intrusion into your home, it is highly recommended to consult with a professional promptly. A simple phone call can make the difference between a swift inspection and repair or incurring substantial expenses due to unaddressed leaks or damage.
