Raining Forecast

Raining season is officially in full swing and began last month in the majority of Rancho Cucamonga area experiencing rain, dust, lightning, and thunderstorms. As the season progresses with a chance of more storms an snow, it’s important for Rancho Cucamonga residents to prepare for emergencies which could potentially lead to water damage in your property. One of the common causes we see take place during raining season is rainwater leaking into homes and businesses. To prevent this from occurring, inspect your roof for any cracks, damaged roof tiles, or any other noticeable wear and tear. We recommend contacting a licensed roofing specialist to make the necessary repairs. It’s also crucial to examine your windows to make sure they are properly sealed. We’ve had instances where homeowners discovered water leaking in from their windows which led to damaged walls and flooring. You need to examine your door to make sure it is properly sealed and no water from the outside will enter. If your home is in a lower elevated area and is prone to flooding, make sure all the entrances are properly sealed and inspected for any cracks or openings that would allow water to enter. You can also purchase sandbags or pick them up from your closes fire station to use on the outside of your home to act as a barrier. It is easy to find yourself overwhelmed with daily stresses and maybe you can’t find the time to deal with Rain prep on your home.  If you find yourself in an emergency and dealing with water damage, you should call SERVPRO of South Rancho Cucamonga we will come and inspect your home and help you get your home to its original condition.
