With moisture from Hurricane Polo bringing heavy rainfall across Texas, now is a good time to make sure your home is prepared for this and future storms.
Here are 5 areas to consider before a major rainfall event happens:
Gutters & Downspouts — Clear debris and make sure water flows away from your home.
Foundation & Drainage — Watch for standing water or pooling near your foundation.
Roof & Attic — Check for leaks, water stains, damaged shingles, or damp insulation.
Windows & Doors — Inspect seals and caulking where wind-driven rain could enter.
Floors & Walls — Bubbling paint, swollen baseboards, warped flooring, or musty odors can signal hidden moisture.
After heavy rain, walk your property and ask: Where is the water going? If it’s moving toward your house instead of away from it, that’s something you’ll need to address.
