Don't Let Water Ruin Your Home!

With the spring weather comes the rain, and thawing of the ground!

Water damage costs you and the insurance industry over $1 Billion dollars per year. Don't be one of the many who will face a water claim this year.

Take a quick walk around your home and check out your down spouts. This water can pool around your foundation and cause a lot of damage over time. There are a couple quick solutions to have the water move else where.

Head ove to your local home improvement store and purchase a Down Spout extender for about $10. These stretch out to 4 or 5 feet and can help move the water from beside your home. Alternatively you can go and purchase a rain barrel to catch the water that runs off your roof. These can cost $100 but you will save money over time by using this FREE Water to water your lawn a gardens over the summer.

Do what you can to try and save yourself from a large water damage claim.

If you would like further information on how to minimize your exposure, please do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me a message.
