1. Inspect Your Roof RegularlyRoof leaks are one of the most common causes of water damage. In Sherman and Denison, our unpredictable weather can lead to roof damage from high winds, hail, or heavy rain. Make it a habit to inspect your roof for missing shingles, cracks, or signs of wear. Address any issues immediately to prevent leaks from turning into major water damage.

2. Clean Your Gutters and DownspoutsClogged gutters can cause water to overflow, damaging your roof, siding, and foundation. Regularly clean your gutters and downspouts, especially after a storm, to ensure proper drainage. Installing gutter guards can also help reduce debris buildup.

3. Check for Leaks in Plumbing FixturesFrom faucets to water heaters, even a small leak can cause significant damage over time. Inspect your plumbing regularly for signs of leaks, such as water stains or mold growth. If you notice an issue, address it immediately to prevent more costly repairs.

4. Seal Windows and DoorsWater can seep through gaps around windows and doors, especially during heavy rain. Inspect the caulking and weatherstripping regularly and replace it as needed to keep your home watertight.
