The rains are coming, prepare the house

The rains are coming, prepare the house. In May, the rainy season begins in Florida, which will not leave us until October. It will be six months with a common denominator, rainy days and many storms. Before entering this season, it is key to prepare the home by taking some preventive measures that could avoid some damages caused by the rains.
The first thing we must do is clean the roofs, gutters, and downspouts of the house. During autumn, leaves and branches from trees can accumulate and obstruct the flow of water. Some roofs may have debris or material residues that must be removed before it starts raining.
You should also thoroughly examine the roof to look for possible cracks or fissures. If you find any, the solution is to apply asphalt sealer to prevent the crack from expanding and water from seeping into your home. You can also take advantage of this opportunity to paint the exterior of the house with waterproof paints.
It is essential to clean the gutters to prevent water from accumulating and causing dampness on your property. Birds use gutters to nest, and vegetation can also grow in that structure, obstructing the flow of water.
Check that the windows close properly and that there is no possibility of water penetration. If you find any defects, fix them before it is too late. Keep in mind that the homeowner’s insurance does not cover damages that occur due to the homeowner’s negligence.
In short, it is time to prepare your home for the rainy season, and if you need affordable home insurance, call Univista Insurance. The rains are coming, prepare the house.
