Seasonal Water Damage Risks in Manayunk
Manayunk's climate brings different water damage risks throughout the year. Here's what to expect each season.
Spring
- Spring rains and snowmelt can cause river flooding and basement seepage. The ground is saturated, so water has nowhere to go.
- Check your sump pump and clear gutters. If you see water in your basement, call us immediately.
Summer
- Thunderstorms and heavy downpours can overwhelm drainage systems. Humid air slows drying, increasing mold risk.
- Keep your dehumidifier running. After a storm, check for leaks and call us if you suspect water damage.
Fall
- Falling leaves can clog gutters, causing roof leaks. Cooler temperatures can also cause pipes to contract and crack.
- Clean your gutters and have your heating system inspected. Insulate exposed pipes.
Winter
- Freezing temperatures cause pipes to burst. Ice dams can form on roofs, leading to leaks.
- Keep your home heated and let faucets drip during cold snaps. If a pipe bursts, shut off the water and call us.
