Give your home a checkup. Help protect it with these five simple steps: ü ü ü Check your eavestroughs to ensure water can flow down and away from your foundation instead of seeping into your basement. Aerate your lawn to prevent soil from compacting, since this can cause flooding or pooling in your yard. Inspect your roof for cracked, buckled or loose shingles that may need to be replaced. ü Fill small cracks in your foundation with filler or silicone caulk and then power wash and seal the concrete. ü Check your window frames for gaps or leaks and seal these openings with silicone to help your A/C this summer.
