Storms and Water Damage Prevention Tips

Heavy rains and flooding have already occurred this year and new storms are predicted for the Schaumburg area. When heavy rains fall over a short period of time, city water drainage systems and natural waterways can be compromised and can lead to flooding of structures nearby.

• Clean your rain gutters before a storm hits
• Install a downspout extension to divert water far away from you and your neighbor’s foundations
• Prevent water intrusion into basements through windows by replacing weather stripping
