Is My Home At Risk For Rainshower Damage?

8/23/2019 (Permalink)

There are a ton of added benefits to owning your own home, such as private space for relaxing, being able to decorate the home how you’d like, and more! However when it comes to owning a home and having to deal with spring shower damage, there are different factors to consider and what to look out for when damage occurs. Below are a few notions that you may be at risk for spring shower damage and what you can do to prevent it!

Check The Top

One of the most important things to consider is where the rain is hitting your home first. Generally, this happens on the roof, or close to the foundation, which can be costly for both you and those who may also be tenants, if you happen to rent. Make sure you’re checking roofing shingles and the foundation for any adverse effects or anything that looks out of place, worn out, or broken.

How Is The Humidity?

Monitoring your humidity levels can be a great way to understand if your home is at risk for water damage due to a spring shower. Because water can creep into your home and cause more humidity than you want, it’s important to monitor levels and look for unexpected spikes after a storm. If this is happening in certain rooms, moisture is somehow getting in.
