Winter is almost here. Are you ready?
Our local team in Yamhill and Tillamook Counties responds to commercial water damage emergencies every year in Tillamook. If you haven’t inspected your apartment building’s exterior lately, now is a good time. Water intrusion can be minimized by checking the structure’s exterior and making necessary repairs, and these proactive measures and repairs will help reduce the chance of a bigger problem later.
- Caulk and seal windows
- Inspect the roof for missing and damaged shingles
- Use a drone to fly over the roof to inspect the roof for missing and damaged shingles
- Check rain gutters and drainage systems and remove any debris
- Check downspouts and clear any clogs and make sure they are draining away from the house
- Check sprinkler systems and make sure the sprinklers are not spraying water onto the structure and that water is not pooling around the building’s foundation
- Make sure water drains away from the building.Water is invasive and will find its way easily into a structure when water is allowed to pool around the foundation. After a storm, or when the ground is already saturated by rainwater, the water may enter the foundation wall through cracks.
