Heavy rain can cause water damage. Let the experts help!

Spring is prime time for rain here in North Garland. While we love the hydration - too much rain can leave your home vulnerable to leaks and water damage.

Swift action is crucial to mitigate the impact and prevent further harm. Here are some essential tips for managing leaks after a rainstorm:

1. Inspect Your Roof: Start by examining your roof for any visible signs of damage such as missing shingles, cracks, or holes. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent water from seeping into your home.

2. Clear Gutters and Downspouts: Clogged gutters can cause water to overflow, leading to leaks and potential water damage. Ensure your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris to allow proper drainage.

3. Check for Interior Leaks: Inspect your ceilings, walls, and floors for any signs of water stains, bulging, or peeling paint, which could indicate hidden leaks. Address these promptly to prevent further damage and mold growth.

4. Utilize Temporary Fixes: In case of minor leaks, use temporary fixes such as waterproof tape or sealants to stem the flow of water until permanent repairs can be made.
