Don't forget to check your windows.

Window Check

The leaks could be anywhere around the window  top, sides or bottom. Often, these leaks happen because the caulk or sealant around the window has gotten old and cracked, allowing rain to enter the house. Make sure you check your windows to avoid any water intrution.

A Leaky Roof
It is easy to forget about in southern California, but a roof leak can turn things sour quick, causing damage to the ceiling, carpets, hardwood floors and furniture. As a safety precaution, we suggest tarping your roof with a thick plastic and weighing each of the 4 corners down with weights.

Prepare with Sandbags
If a heavy rainfall is predicted, it is a good idea to line your front entryway, back and crawl space with sandbags. This will block the water from flooding your home and minimize the chance of water damage.

Mop Up and Blot Excess Water
If water has already found its way into your home, do mope it up and dry quickly with towels (microfiber towels absorb even more moisture). Collecting as much moisture as possible as fast as possible will help from further damage.
