Protecting Your Sacramento Home From Water Damage

2/27/2022 (Permalink)

There is nothing worse than water damage for a homeowner. It can often occur with little-to-no warning, leaving the homeowner completely unaware that there is an issue until the water damage is visible or significant. From weakening a structure - such as framing, walls, ceiling, and flooring - water damage creates an optimal environment for mold invasion. 

SERVPRO of East Sacramento / West Arden Arcade believes that one of the best ways to protect your home from water damage is to be prepared in advance. Preparation can involve:

Maintenance

Maintaining the condition of your home is smart, both financially and with regards to safety, so keep an eye on the areas involving water. Windows and doors need to be kept in good condition, sealed well in advance of wet weather. Additionally, check the pipes under the kitchen sink, and provide regular care to prevent pipes bursting.

Flooding

If you live in an area that is near a river or creek, or if you have drainage ditches on your property, you will want to take the necessary precautions to ensure that rising waters of any kind will not get near your property, especially during rainstorms.

Spills

If you have a spill or accident in your home, such as an overflowing dishwasher, that can be a huge issue when it comes to the clean up. If the water is not managed properly and quickly, warped floorboards, baseboards, and carpeting can be the result. Take the steps you can to clean up standing water, and then give your friends here at SERVPRO of East Sacramento / West Arden Arcade a call!
