🌧️ Rain, rain… is your home ready? 🏡
A little preparation before the rain can help prevent a big headache later! Here’s your rainy-weather checklist:
🍂 Clean gutters and downspouts so water can flow freely.
💧 Direct downspouts away from your foundation to help keep water from pooling near your home.
🏠 Check for roof damage and address missing shingles or leaks.
🪟 Check seals around windows and doors for cracks where water could sneak in.
✅ Test your sump pump, if you have one.
🌿 Clear leaves and debris from outdoor drains and stairwells.
📦 Move valuables off basement floors and store important documents in waterproof containers.
Handle outdoor maintenance before storms arrive, and leave high or hard-to-reach jobs to a professional.
