Spring has sprung in Illinois and the St. Louis Metro area, and while April showers bring beautiful blooms, they can also lead to costly water damage if your home isn’t properly prepared. Here at All Clean Restoration, we offer 24/7 emergency service for water removal, drying and professional water damage mitigation to get your home or business back to normal quickly.

But even better than dealing with water damage after it happens is preventing it in the first place! Here are 10 ways to keep your home safe from April showers:

  1. Clean Your Gutters: Clogged gutters can overflow and cause water to seep into your foundation. To avoid this mess, have your gutters cleaned by a professional.
  2. Update or Replace Your Roof: A damaged roof is more susceptible to leaks during heavy rains. If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, consider a replacement. All Clean Restoration can recommend qualified roofers in your area.
  3. Protect Your Plants: Too much rain can harm your precious plants. Consult with a gardening professional about proper watering techniques and how to protect your plants from the elements.
  4. Waterproof Your Deck: Don’t let spring showers put a damper on your outdoor enjoyment. Professional deck waterproofing can shield your deck from water damage.
  5. Caulk Around Windows and Doors: Gaps around windows and doors can be entry points for water. Seal them with caulk to prevent leaks.
  6. Waterproof Your Basement: A flooded basement is a major headache. Basement waterproofing by a professional can give you peace of mind.
  7. Repair or Replace Wet Drywall: Mold can quickly grow on wet drywall. If your drywall gets wet, call a professional restoration company like All Clean Restoration to assess the damage and make repairs or replacements.
  8. Install a Sump Pump: A sump pump removes water that accumulates in the basement, preventing flooding. Hiring a professional sump pump contractor is recommended for proper installation.
  9. Check Yard Drainage: Poor drainage can lead to foundation problems and damaged plants. A landscaping professional can identify and fix drainage issues.
  10. Use Sandbags: Sandbags are a cheap and effective way to block doorways and other openings to prevent water intrusion.
