It’s not too early to start thinking Spring! While we all love when the temperatures rise and the snow melts, these annual changes can still cause some wet conditions and the potential for home damage.
What to do as the Spring Melt hits:
- Inspect your waterproofing system – Make sure any sump pumps or backwater valves are functioning properly.
- Learn the symptoms of basement flooding issues – Things like mildew, condensation, and off smells could be signs of potential basement moisture that could cause future disaster.
- Move snow away from home and locate water pooling – As you shovel snow, push snow away from your home and to somewhere it will drain into the ground correctly. This will help prevent snowmelt from puddling up around your home and potentially affecting your foundation.
- Check downspouts – make sure there are no blockages or debris so the downspouts can properly carry water away from your property.
But even with the most careful of examinations, most water damage is hidden from the naked eye and can be easily missed. If that happens, call us at CREW ASAP! We understand the lasting effects if water mitigation is not handled properly, and will be there for you from initial inspection all the way to making sure those finishing details are perfect.
