How This Weather Raises Home Flood And Leak Risk

Prolonged rain and strong wind drive water into roof edges windows and wall joints. Saturated soil sends runoff toward basements and crawlspaces. Power flickers can shut off sump pumps and dehumidifiers which lets moisture climb and invites mold. If you notice musty odour wall staining window condensation or a soft spot in flooring act early.
