The rain has really been coming down this winter here in Georgia. Because of this, you should make sure to take steps in order to prevent damage to your home in the form of mold, mildew and water damage. The following are a few places that you should be checking regularly:
- The exterior – Inspect the outside of your home to see if the paint job is damaged from all the rain. Look for bubbling, cracking or peeling paint. You should fix any issues as soon as you spot them.
- The foundation – Look for any cracks or holes in the foundation of your home. These should be fixed to prevent water from leaking in.
- The gutters – Make sure that the gutters are clear. Any clogs can cause water to build up, which can damage the gutters as well as leak into the house.
- The basement – Look for wet spots on the basement walls and floor after it has rained. Pay attention to any musty smells as well.
