A big line of storms is heading our way, here are some steps you can take right now to help prevent water damage to your home.
- Clear gutters and downspouts: Make sure they’re free of leaves and debris so rainwater flows away from your house.
- Extend downspouts: If possible, use extenders to direct water at least 6–10 feet away from your foundation.
- Check your sump pump: If you have one, test it to make sure it’s working. If it has a backup battery, make sure that’s charged.
- Seal basement windows: Temporarily cover with plastic sheeting and duct tape if you’ve had water intrusion before.
- Check storm drains near your home: If they’re clogged and you can safely do it, remove debris so water can flow freely.
Of course, if despite your best efforts, you do get water damage or flooding, APKE TOTAL RESTORATION stands ready to be at your service 24/7. Call us at 513-541-1900 anytime.
