Mundelein Home Drenched in Recent Downpour?
5/9/2023 (Permalink)
Severe rainstorms can cause water intrusion issues in homes and businesses in Lake County. Rain gutters and downspouts become clogged and can back up into the home’s roof or foundation, and water may enter the home through any cracks in walls, foundations, or window and door seals. Our local teams in Mundelein and North Wauconda respond to storm damage emergencies throughout the year and offer these tips from the Insurance Information Institute to keep your home protected from unwanted water:
After a storm, inspect your home’s exterior for any visible signs of storm damage. Check for visible signs of damage and clean out rain gutters and downspouts and make sure downspouts are turned away from the home’s foundation so water sheds away from the structure. Make any repairs to leaking windows or doorframes as soon as you notice them.
Inside your home, begin with the attic space and check for wet spots or other water leaks and make repairs as needed. If you notice missing or damaged roof shingles you will want to contact your insurance company and a roofing professional right away.
