Do you want to know how to get your house ready for the rainy season? Though a light to moderate rainfall is not a threat to your houses but continuous days of rain can lead to some issues. If you want some tips to keep your house in good form, here is what you need to know.

1. Maintain Clean Gutters

Gutters are designed to gather rainwater and guide it away from your home making them your home’s first line of protection against severe rainfall. So keeping them clean is one of the first things to do. Cleaning gutters can be done in variety of ways but rinsing them with garden hose is easier and sufficient.

2. Do a Roof Inspection

Before the rainy season starts take a tour around the house and look for any signs of leakage. Check your ceilings for water marks or find some peeling paint. Look for any signs of trouble, check the corners and look for any wall cracks. Any damage to the roof or the wall can allow water to enter the home so look to get them sealed or repaired immediately.

3. Trim down Trees around Your House

The trees surrounding your house should be cautiously taken care of. Take note that tree limbs and fallen tree branches cause harm that can be avoided. So keep these landscape elements trimmed back. The more maintained your trees and bushes are, the less likely your property is exposed to hazard.

4. Prepare for Floods

In case  the worst scenario happen, take some time to prepare for rising tides and take extra precautionary measures. Keep electronics far away from the windows and keep your appliances and anything that is prone to damage somewhere on the higher shelves.

Take these tips  as proactive measures to prepare your home for moderate to severe rain to prevent bigger damage as a result.
