Leakproof Your Home

9/22/2022 (Permalink)

Always be ready! It is time to prepare your home and/or business for cold and rainy weather but keeping water out of your property can be quite complicated. For example, plumbing issues or light rain can cause moisture and leaks through the roof, walls, foundation etc. When this occurs the moisture eventually reaches the porous materials in your home, which may then lead to structural damage and other humidity concerns. It is equally important to note that if left untreated you risk mold growth. For these reasons, it is highly recommended that you take proper care of all potential areas prone to leaks such as the following:

• Inspection of the plumbing pipes system
• Inspection of the roof/chimney
• Inspection of the water heater
• Check attic insulation
• Clean the gutters
• Repair any cracks
• Seal proof doors and windows
• Check exterior faucets and irrigation system
