Fall is a busy time for SERVPRO of New Philadelphia. When temperatures start to drop---pipes can freeze and break. Water seepage can crack foundations and rot out materials. Add in clogged gutters, and you can guarantee you will need a water restoration company to come and help clean up a disaster.

SERVPRO of New Philly would like to give you some fall water damage tips so these issues do not happen to your home.

  • Leaves and Gutters- The leaves are a pretty sight when they fall. However, they are not so pretty when they clog your gutters. When heavy rainfall comes, wet leaves and other debris can clog downspouts and lead to overflow in your gutters. The overflow has nowhere to go but into your home. Make sure gutters are maintained and cleaned.
  • Roof Inspections-Make sure to have a licensed roofer inspect your roof in the fall. High winds and low temperatures are a perfect recipe for trees on your property to fall. A roofer will be able to evaluate the condition of your roof and fix any missing shingles or dips.
  • Clear Debris from French Drains- French Drains are installed to make sure water is going way from the basement door. When these are clogged---water can overflow and flood. Make sure drains are free of debris.
  • Disconnect Your Garden Hose- The bib on the hose is subject to freeze due to freezing temperatures. Disconnect and install an insulated cover to protect it. Make sure all water is out of the line before you do this.
