Water damage can wreak havoc on your home, causing structural issues and costly repairs. At AEM Construction & Restoration, we help homeowners identify the common causes of water damage and how to prevent them.
1. Leaky Roofs
A damaged or aging roof can allow water to seep into your home. Regular roof inspections and timely repairs are essential for prevention.
2. Clogged Gutters
Gutters that are clogged with debris can cause water to overflow, leading to leaks and foundation issues. Clean your gutters regularly to ensure proper drainage.
3. Poorly Sealed Windows and Doors
Improperly sealed windows and doors can let water into your home, causing mold and wood rot. Ensure all seals are tight and replace damaged weatherstripping.
4. Plumbing Issues
Leaky or burst pipes are common culprits of water damage. Regular maintenance of your plumbing system is critical in preventing these problems.
5. Basement Flooding
Basements are prone to flooding due to poor drainage or high water tables. Installing a sump pump and ensuring proper drainage around your foundation can help.
