SERVPROof San Mateo responds to water damage emergencies often in San Francisco. Here are some tips from the Insurance Information Institute for protecting your home from water intrusion: 

Exterior Inspection and Repair

• Water can be prevented from entering a structure’s exterior through routine inspection and maintenance and making repairs as needed.
• Caulk and seal windows
• Inspect the roof for missing and aging shingles
• Check rain gutters and drainage systems and remove any debris
• Check downspouts and clear any clogs and make sure they are draining away from the structure
• Check sprinkler systems and make sure the sprinklers are not spraying water onto the structure and that water is not pooling around the structure’s foundation
• Make sure water drains away from the building as 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.
