Being prepared for disasters like flooding is an important part of home ownership. If you protect your house in advance, you may save yourself a lot of heartache and money. Luckily, there are several things you can do to help prevent flood damage in your home.  

Clean Gutters 

If your gutters and downspouts cannot effectively direct water away from your home, flood damage may result. Clean your gutters at least twice a year so they will carry water freely. Point downspouts away from your house. 

Move Valuables to Higher Ground

Pay attention to weather predictions for heavy rains and the possibility of rising water near your home. Move valuable things to higher ground. If you don’t have a second story, place them on countertops or tables so they’re less likely to be exposed to water or water mixed with sewage. 

Check Your Roof

One of the best ways to prevent water in your home is to make sure your roof is sound. Inspect it regularly for damage and leaks, which could also encourage mold growth. Purchase waterproof materials and place them underneath the shingles to prevent damage from heavy rains.
