Here in North Mississippi we have been experiencing much more heavy rainfall than usual. Heavy rain damage can be very costly if not handled both immediately and correctly.

As such, keep the following tips in mind for protecting your home from damage in heavy rain:

• Clean your gutters regularly
• Pay attention to your home’s drainage efficiency
• Have your roof inspected on a yearly basis
• Fix any leaks throughout your home, especially in the bathrooms and kitchen
• Look out for mold growth, which often indicates water damage
• Be aware of potential health hazards associated with rain damage
• Make sure that all electrical equipment and appliances are in a water-free location
