Storm Water Damage in Chipley Home?
4/19/2022 (Permalink)
Our local team in Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Chipley responds to storm damage emergencies each year in Chipley. You can prevent water from entering your home by inspecting your home’s exterior for any place where water can enter the house and making repairs as needed.
Here are some tips from the Insurance Information Institute to keep your home protected from water intrusion from storms:
- Caulk and seal windows
- Inspect the roof for missing and aging shingles
- Check your rain gutters and remove any debris that may be clogging them
- Check your downspouts and clear any clogs and make sure they are draining away from the house
- Gutter guards are an excellent way to prevent clogs and water intrusion into the house
- Check your sprinkler systems and make sure they are not spraying water into the dwelling and that water is not pooling around the home’s foundation
- Make sure water drains away from the building.Water is invasive and will quickly find its way into a structure when water is allowed to pool 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.
