To prevent water damage, you first need to know what causes it. A good understanding of the subject will not only give you better tools to prevent water damage, but it will also help you save money by using simple, everyday maintenance tips to keep your home in good condition and preserve its value. While some causes of water damage are controllable and can be prevented if you pay enough attention to them, others are not predictable and therefore cannot be prevented.
Rainwater: during the rainy season, rainwater collects on the foundation or under the floor if it is not drained away through proper drainage. It is very difficult to control the damage caused by rainwater, but it is possible to reduce its impact Gutters and downpipes: blocked gutters push rainwater under roof tiles or cause water to run down walls from the inside. Lack of drains can lead to overflow. Gutters must drain a sufficient distance from the foundation walls, otherwise water will accumulate and cause damage, a wet basement, and even foundation problems. Windows and Doors: Improperly installed windows and doors can allow water to enter the wall. Damaged window or door seals can cause moisture to seep in from the wind. Check your doors and windows carefully, especially during the wet season. Leaking roofs: Old roofing materials can cause water penetration and damage to the roof surface, especially around chimneys and ventilators. Old tiles warp and crack, allowing moisture to penetrate. Cracked chimney caps allow water to enter the interior of the chimney. Drainage pipes for flat roofs can become blocked and trap water on the roof, increasing the risk of leakage and possible collapse of the entire roof under the weight of the water.
