Are you feeling a little soggy after the wet weekend?
With more rain in the forecast?
Last week’s storms brought a lot of rainfall to our area, and with that comes an increased risk of water damage to homes and businesses. While the rain may have stopped, the hidden effects can linger long after the skies clear. If your property was exposed to the recent downpour, now is the time to inspect and act fast.
Heavy Rainfall Can Be Dangerous to Your Home
Excess rain can overwhelm drainage systems, saturate the ground, and exploit weak points in your home’s defenses. Some of the most common problems we’ve seen this week include:
- Basement Flooding
- Roof Leaks
- Overflowing Gutters
- Foundation Seepage
- Sump Pump Failures
Even a small amount of water intrusion can cause serious issues like mold growth, structural damage, and ruined insulation or flooring.
Top Signs of Water Damage to Check for
If your area was hit by heavy rain, look for these common warning signs:
- Damp or Musty Smell (especially in basements or crawlspaces)
- Water Stains on walls or ceilings
- Buckled Floors or Warped Baseboards
- Dripping Sounds behind walls or near windows
Soft spots around the windows or discoloration
- Peeling Paint or Bubbling Drywall
Even if there’s no standing water, moisture can linger in hidden places.
What To Do If You Suspect Water Damage
- Inspect Your Home Immediately – Focus on basements, attics, and areas near doors/windows.
- Take Photos – Document any damage for your insurance claim.
- Dry What You Can – Use fans and dehumidifiers to reduce moisture.
- Call Restore It – For wet drywall, insulation, or persistent dampness, it’s safest to bring in experts.
