Summer is coming, but prior to taking pleasure in the sunshine, you need to ensure you’re ready for rainy days. Begin by reinforcing your homes and buildings against drainage problems.
Roofing. Biannually, ask a licensed service provider to clear away all leaves and refuse from your roofs and gutters. Certify that the water clears out correctly, not just at flat roof drains and scupper drains, but additionally on sloped roofs, surrounding flashings, and any spots where water is guided when it is raining heavily.
Windows and doors. Make a point to vacuum your window and sliding-door tracks on a regular basis. Leaking frequently happens at the bottom corner seams of windows and sliding doors when debris gets stuck.
Stucco/siding. Waterproof gaps around every wall opening — hose bibs, light fixtures, windows, and doors, while taking care to leave the release flashing untouched.
Decking. Clear your deck of leaves and other matter. Patio-deck drains are usually tiny, which makes it easy for just one big leaf to clog the drain.
Notify the manager if you want suggestions for trustworthy providers or more info on drain upkeep.
