When the showers are on their way in April, it is important that your home is protected from the rain. Rainwater can not only dampen your gardening work, it can also have a major impact on your home.
Water damage can cause mold, wood rot and foundation cracks. It is therefore important to prevent water from entering your home. Here are some ways to make sure your home stays dry this spring.
Waterproof your outsides.
First, look at the exterior of your house. Can you see cracks or openings through which water could penetrate? Start by sealing this. Examine the rest of your outsides and maintain them properly. After all, the exterior of your home is the first line of defense against rainwater.

Clean gutters.
It is important that you clean your gutters every year. This ensures that your gutters do not become clogged and that rainwater can flow smoothly through the drain pipe.
Watch out for the roof.
Take good care of your roof by hiring a professional from time to time to look at it. An experienced person can check if repairs need to be made and if minor problems need to be fixed.
Check the drainage.
Proper drainage is also important. This guarantees that the water is led away from the base of your house.
