The rain has been coming down heavily already this summer! With Long Island seeing multiple flash flood warnings in effect already, you should plan before the next big storm hits. Because, let's face it, if your home isn't prepared, heavy rains can do a lot more damage than you may realize.
Heavy Rain is The Most Common Culprit
Water damage can happen from other causes, such as burst pipes or plumbing leaks, but heavy rain can often cause rapid and sudden damage. It washes away loose dirt on roofs or ground surfaces, sending it cascading into gutters or downspouts where it enters a building through open windows or doors.What To Do if Water Gets in
If water seeps into your home or floods the basement, it's essential that you stop the flow as soon as possible. To do this, open doors and windows to allow air circulation to help dry out any wet areas quickly. And as soon as you notice the first sign of an issue, be sure to contact professional
water damage cleaners.
How To Prevent Issues in The Future
It's important to plan ahead, especially during the summer season! Some tips for this include:
- Check the gutters on your home at least twice a year.
- Repair any leaks in pipes or appliances.
- Store important documents (such as birth certificates) off-site so you can access them if necessary.
- Make sure you have an emergency kit with everything you’ll need during an emergency.
- Stay in contact with the professionals here at Greenpro to help protect your home in the future!
