Our local Osceola County team restores storm damage in Holopaw every year. Residents can take preventative measures to prevent water intrusion during heavy rain events by:

Maintain gutters and downspouts: Regularly clean gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage. Clear any debris that could obstruct water flow and redirect water away from the foundation.

Install gutter guards: Consider installing gutter guards to prevent debris buildup and facilitate proper water flow.

Check and repair roof: Inspect the roof for missing or damaged shingles, cracks, or leaks. Repair any issues promptly to prevent water infiltration.

Seal windows and doors: Check for gaps or cracks around windows and doors and seal them with weatherstripping or caulking to prevent water seepage.

Grade the landscape: Ensure the ground slopes away from the foundation to prevent water from pooling near the house. Fill in low spots and install French drains or other drainage solutions if necessary.

Maintain landscaping: Trim trees and shrubs near the house to prevent branches from damaging the roof during storms. Consider using mulch and plants with deep root systems to absorb excess water.

Monitor indoor humidity: Use a dehumidifier to maintain indoor humidity levels between 30-60% to prevent condensation and moisture buildup.
