We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in Washington County.

Chipley gets its share of rain, averaging 59 inches each year. When cracks form around foundations or window and door frames, water can seep into the structure, causing water damage. Our local Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Chipley team responds to water damage emergencies throughout the year and offers these tips from the Insurance Information Institute for preventing water seepage:

You can prevent water from entering your home by inspecting your home’s exterior for any place where water can enter the home and making repairs as needed.

• Caulk and seal windows
• Inspect the roof for missing and aging shingles
• Check your rain gutters and remove any debris that may be clogging them
• Check your downspouts and clear any clogs and make sure they are draining away from the house
• Gutter guards are a good way to prevent clogs and water intrusion into the house
• Check your sprinkler systems and make sure they are not spraying water into the house and that water is not pooling around the home’s foundation
• Make sure water drains away from the building.Water is invasive and will find its way into a structure easily 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 into the foundation wall through any cracks.
