Storms are a leading cause of water intrusion in homes, but homeowners can take proactive steps to protect their properties. Preventing water intrusion during heavy rainstorms safeguards the home’s structure and helps avoid costly secondary damage like mold growth and wood rot.

Clear your roof and gutters of debris. Ensure there are no loose shingles or leaks, and clean out gutters to allow proper drainage. Clogged gutters can cause water to overflow and seep into walls or the foundation. Install downspout extensions to direct water away from the home’s base.

Seal windows and doors with weatherproof caulking to prevent rain from finding its way inside.

Check your foundation for cracks and seal them with waterproofing products. A French drain system can further protect against flooding. Landscaping can also play a role. Grade the soil around your home to slope away from the foundation, preventing pooling water. For areas prone to severe storms, consider investing in flood barriers or sandbags for extra protection.

By taking these steps, homeowners can significantly reduce the risk of water intrusion, ensuring their homes remain dry and damage-free during even the harshest storms.
