Protecting your home or commercial property from water damage requires ongoing checks and routine maintenance. There are several preventative measures you can put in your maintenance plan, such as regularly cleaning debris from your gutters, ensuring proper grading for drainage around the building foundation, performing routine checks for water leaks, and letting your faucet drip during cold months. Recurring inspections of these common sources can help you to protect your property.
- Clean out roof gutters – clogged gutters prevent water from draining away from the property and can result in overflow directly onto your foundation, which in turn can result in damage to the foundation and potential basement flooding.
- Keep good drainage around your home or property – water that flows towards the home can also cause damage to the foundation and result in the need for costly repairs. Drainage should be established to push the water away from the property.
- Check for water leaks – small leaks can cause big problems if they go unnoticed, so be sure to check your pipes for any leaks as part of your routine maintenance.
- Use a drain snake instead of unclogging chemicals – chemicals can eat away at pipes and cause damage over time, whereas using a drain snake is a safe and effective alternative.
- Be careful where you plant – invasive roots can cause damage to underground water lines. Always be sure you know an area is free of pipes and water lines before planting there.
- Let water drip from faucets during cold months – this can help prevent your pipes from freezing and then bursting.
Water Mitigation
Once you’ve had water damage, it’s crucial to take quick and effective action so that you don’t end up paying for more repairs later down the road. We can help prevent further damage by implementing some mitigation strategies such as installing a sump pump. Water mitigation is a common action that takes place after floods or when water rushes into homes after storms.
