Spring Preparation

3/4/2021 (Permalink)

The month of March here in Maryland can be pretty unpredictable. One day week we may get snow and the next it may be in the mid 60's! As we begin to welcome Spring weather, there are a few things we want home owners and property managers to keep in mind!

Basement pumps like sump pumps and sewer values can be a life saver. Snow melting at rapid speed or Spring rain can do a lot of damage! In case of a power outage, hand pumps are also great to have on hand. 

Windows & doors are notorious for allowing moisture to seep in. Always make sure that your windows and doors are properly sealed. Although it may not be at a noticeable rate, any moisture coming in (especially warmer, more humid air) will build up over time and can cause water damage/mold issues. 

Your roof puts up with a lot throughout the winter! Be sure your roof is well maintained to prevent any moisture from getting in and leading to mold. 

Here on the Eastern Shore we always predict a robust amount of mold to pop up in the Spring months. With the wetness that Spring brings partnered with the already low water table of the shore, warmer days are almost inevitably going to cause some sort of mold. It's important to keep an eye out for things within your home that may contribute to water damage and mold growth.
