Often, the rainy season brings along with it threats of water damage to your house. Here are steps you can take to keep yourself and your property safe and dry.
Caulk cracks around windows and doors to prevent water from seeping inside.
Check old caulk every year for chips and cracks, which indicates the caulk has dried out and needs replacement. Check trees in your yard and remove any dead branches, which could fall during heavy rain and cause damage. Remove leaves, branches and debris from gutters and drains. Otherwise, water could overflow and rot the woodwork around the roof area. You can purchase these at a hardware store, or improvise by using large corks or stoppers to plug sinks and tubs in an emergency. 5.
