Spring into Action: Preparing Your East Hartford Home for Water Damage with Vanguard Property Services

As the snow melts and spring arrives in East Hartford, it's the perfect time to prepare your home for potential water damage. At Vanguard Property Services, we've seen our fair share of water damage cases in the area, including in nearby Newington and Hartford. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the essential steps to take during your spring cleaning routine to prevent water damage and ensure your home remains safe and secure.

Inspecting Your Home's Exterior

Start by inspecting your home's exterior, paying attention to your roof, gutters, and downspouts. Check for any signs of damage, such as missing or loose shingles, and ensure your gutters are clear of debris. Clogged gutters can lead to water accumulation, which can cause damage to your home's foundation and lead to water leak restoration needs. Additionally, consider hiring a professional to inspect your attic for any signs of attic mold remediation requirements.

Preventing Water Damage in Your Basement

Your basement is another area that's prone to water damage. Make sure to check your basement's walls and floors for any cracks or signs of water damage. Consider installing a sump pump and ensuring your basement is well-ventilated to prevent mold remediation after water damage needs.
