4 Projects to Protect Your Home From Water Damage

Water damage can wreak havoc on your home. To ensure your home is properly protected from the threat of water damage, here are four home improvement projects to prioritize:

4 Projects to Protect Your Home From Water Damage

1. Roof Maintenance

Regular inspections and prompt repairs are the keys to a healthy roof. By addressing minor problems before they worsen, you prevent costly damage and help maximize the surface life of your roof.

Even if you don’t see obvious damage, you still need to have your roof inspected periodically. Storms don’t always leave noticeable red flags to alarm you that something’s wrong. Hidden issues quietly exist and worsen with inaction. Thorough evaluation allows professional roofers to identify and address potential sources of leaks before trouble begins.

2. Gutter Guard Installation

Uncovered gutters and downspouts are prone to clogging. Twigs, leaves and pine needles can compromise your roof’s drainage system and cause water damage in different parts of your home. Although cleaning your gutters religiously goes a long way, investing in gutter guards is a better solution. They filter out debris, dramatically reducing the chances of leaking gutters.

3. Window Replacement

Custom-built windows don’t just seal the gaps around your wall openings, they also increase your home’s condensation resistance. This reduces the risk of water infiltration and associated mold and mildew issues.

4. Vinyl Siding Upgrade

Replacing your worn-out siding panels with vinyl is an opportunity to seal the gaps and holes in your exterior walls. Since vinyl siding repels water, it won’t decay over time.
