Preparing Your Cecil County Property for the Spring

3/8/2022 (Permalink)

The rainy spring season often leads to water damage in our local Cecil County area.  SERVPRO of Cecil County provides water restoration services for homes and businesses that suffer any extent of water damage including those due to leaks, large storm events and sump pump failures.  Below, we list several preventative actions you can take in order to eliminate storm or structural problems for your property.

• Follow your local weather reports for storm updates.
• Inspect your home for interior and exterior issues before and after a storm.  Look for structural issues with your roof, siding, gutters and foundation.  These issues should be repaired immediately.
• Clean your gutters.  Leaves and other debris should be removed from your drainage system in order to allow water to continue to flow through the system properly.  This will prevent a water collection around the foundation as well as other flooding issues.
• Ensure your doors and windows are properly sealed.  This will prevent drafts and moisture from entering your home.
• Check for signs of leaks as well.  Wet walls and moisture are common signs of leaking.
• Inspect your sump pump and make sure it is running properly.

SERVPRO of Cecil County provides emergency services for properties affected by water or storm damage.  We offer complete mitigation and reconstruction services in order to help fully restore your property from severe destruction.
