While fitness and healthy eating might be at the top of your New Year’s resolution list, consider adding another important goal: protecting your home from water damage. Water damage can be devastating, leading to structural issues, mold growth, and even health problems. But with a little proactive planning, you can prevent these costly and stressful situations.

All Clean Restoration, your trusted partner in disaster recovery, offers these 6 resolutions to keep your home healthy and water damage-free throughout the year:

  1. Install a Sump Pump for Peace of Mind: Heavy rains can cause groundwater levels to rise, threatening your basement. A sump pump acts as your home’s shield, pumping excess water away from the foundation and into a safe drainage area.

  2. Prevent Backflow with Backflow Valves: During heavy rainfall or sewage system overflows, contaminated water can back up into your home through drains and pipes. Backflow valves stop this issue in its tracks, protecting your health and preventing costly damage.

  3. Keep Your Gutters Clean, Twice a Year: Clogged gutters lead to overflowing rainwater, which can damage your roof, siding, foundation, and even windows. Resolve to clean your gutters twice a year – once in the spring and again in the fall.

  4. Maintain Your Septic System for Rural Homes: If you have a septic system, proper maintenance is crucial to prevent backups and water damage. This includes avoiding harsh chemicals, using septic-safe toilet paper, and limiting water use during heavy rains. Consider installing a flood alarm for early detection of rising water levels.

  5. Become a Leak Detective: Small leaks can turn into major problems if left unchecked. Make it a habit to inspect your plumbing fixtures and appliances for any signs of leakage at least once a month. Tighten loose connections, replace faulty valves, and repair leaky faucets to prevent water damage before it starts.

  6. Inspect Your Roof Regularly: Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. Damaged or missing shingles can lead to leaks and unseen problems in your attic, like mold growth, ruined insulation, and structural damage. Resolve to inspect your roof after every major storm to identify and address any potential issues early on.

Remember, if you suspect water damage in your home, don’t wait! Act quickly to minimize the damage and restore your home to its pre-loss condition. All Clean Restoration is here to help. We are a certified DKI member, the largest network of disaster restoration companies in North America. Our team of water damage restoration experts is available 24/7 to respond to your needs quickly and efficiently.
