Our local team in Lakewood and Ken Caryl responds to storm damage emergencies in Lakewood every year. Can you remember the last time you inspected your home’s exterior for areas that could allow stormwater intrusion into the structure? Here are some tips from the Insurance Information Institute for protecting your home from storm damage:

Exterior Inspection and Repair

Stormwater can be prevented from entering a structure’s exterior through routine inspection and maintenance and making repairs as needed.

• Make sure water drains away from the building
• Water is invasive and will find its way into a structure easily when water is allowed to pool around the foundation
• After a storm, or when the ground is already saturated by rainwater, the water may enter into the foundation wall through any cracks
• Caulk and seal windows
• Inspect the roof for missing and aging shingles
• Check rain gutters and drainage systems and remove any debris
• Check downspouts and clear any clogs and make sure they are draining away from the structure
• Check sprinkler systems and make sure the sprinklers are not spraying water onto the structure and that water is not pooling around the structure’s foundation
