Why is Water Getting Into Your Home?

10/5/2020 (Permalink)

After months of wildfires, the west coast of the United States would love to be deluged with rain.  If only we could wish the overabundance of rain in one part of the country to shift to the other part of the nation, everyone would be better served!  Unfortunately, such powers are not something we possess.  So, quickly addressing any overabundance of rainwater which may play havoc with your property, is of utmost importance.  If your basement is wet after a hard rain or water has creeped in under doorways or windows, don’t simply mop the water up and forget that it happened.  Putting your head in the sand like an ostrich is not the answer.  Look and try to figure out why the water is coming into the house.  Are the seals around the doors and windows worn and in need of new weather stripping?  Maybe someone simply didn’t close the doors or windows properly.  Or, perhaps you cannot tell why the water has come into your home.
