It's March! That means spring is almost here! While the season brings sunshine and blooming flowers, it also brings heavy rain, basement flooding and of course, water damage risks. The spring showers are on their way. Don't let them turn into expensive repairs! Here are 3 expert-approved water damage prevention tips to keep your home dry and safe:


1. Clean Your Gutters & Downspouts

Clogged gutters are a leading cause of roof leaks, foundation damage and annoying basement flooding. Spend a Saturday and remove leaves and debris so rainwater flows freely and make sure downspouts direct water at least 5 feet away from your home to prevent water intrusion.


2. Inspect for Leaks & Cracks

Check your roof, foundation, windows as well as doors for cracks where water can come in. Even minor leaks can lead to toxic mold growth, wood rot, as well as structural damage (which is quite expensive!). Seal them now before any Georgia spring storms hit!


3. Test Your Sump Pump

Your sump pump is your best defense against basement flooding! Pour water into the sump pump pit to ensure it activates, then clean the discharge pipe to avoid water backup and costly flood damage.
