Inspecting Your Property for Seasonal Damage Can Help Avoid Storm Damage and Mounting Repair Costs

Summer is here, and it’s time to enjoy the warm weather and outdoor activities. Use this time to inspect your property for any seasonal damage. Summer storms can bring heavy rain, strong winds, and lightning, all of which can damage your property. Regular inspections and maintenance can help prevent costly repairs.

Clean and Inspect the Exterior and Landscaping

While sprucing up your yard, take the time to clear out overgrown bushes, dead plants, watering cans, garden tools, and other items cluttering your landscape. Messy outdoor spaces and exterior structural systems like your roof and gutters can often lead to property damage, including slow water leaks or poor ventilation. Cleaning up your surroundings will prevent accidents and increase the safety and security of your property.

Examine the Roof

Summer storms can be harsh on your roof, so be sure to inspect it thoroughly. Look for missing, buckled, or damaged shingles, as roof damage can lead to water and mold damage. Call a licensed and insured roofing expert to perform repairs. If you experience water intrusion or see visible signs of mold, give SERVPRO® a call for help.

Check and Clean Gutters and Downspouts

Gutters and downspouts divert rainwater away from your roof and foundation, which is crucial during heavy summer rains. Ensure all gutters are secure and free of debris. If your gutters are damaged from previous weather, replace them promptly.

Inspect Exterior Walls

A thorough inspection of the exterior walls will help identify trouble spots. Paint acts as an added layer of protection from the elements, helping to keep your home safe from weather damage and insects.

Check Foundation and Walkways

Fix and fill cracks in your foundation, porch, and walkways. Fluctuating temperatures and water can cause these areas to crack. Reduce the opportunity for water damage by filling these cracks as soon as possible to prevent structural damage.

Check Outdoor Faucets and Plumbing

During summer, you’ll be using outdoor faucets and pool plumbing frequently. Ensure all outdoor plumbing is in good working order and free from leaks that could cause water damage.

Trim Tree and Shrub Overgrowth

Give the plants and trees on your property a once-over. Make sure to trim them, especially if they could fall on your home or car during a storm.
