You should take any and all reasonable steps to prevent water
intrusion. In the event of any water intrusion, take immediate
action to prevent further damage.
Care Tips
• If your home does have gutters, keep gutters and
downspouts clear of all debris such as leaves. Be sure to
keep alert for tennis balls, foreign objects, etc. which may
become lodged in the downspout.
• Ensure positive fall away from foundation, especially near
downspouts.
• Maintain a positive grade away from the foundation.
• Inspect annually and maintain all exterior caulk
• Control humidity in the home. Condensation on windows
indicates excessive moisture on the inside and lack of air
circulation. Proper thermostat settings and clean filters will
assist the system in removing humidity from the home.
• Always use the bath fan when showering or bathing. Allow
the fan to operate for several minutes after the water is
turned off.
• Maintain interior and exterior caulking and weather stripping
on windows and doors.
• Promptly remove any water within the home that results
from spills, overflows or similar incidents.
• Mildew may occasionally appear on the shaded side of the
house and can be treated with a mildewcide sprayed on the
affected area and allowed to dry.
• After a storm with wind exceeding 30mph there may be
water seepage at doors, windows and roof vents. It is your
responsibility to dry out these areas to prevent water
damage.
