Winter showers and subsequent mudslides wreaked havoc in Southern California last week, and there is a lot more rain in the forecast.
The National Weather Service is predicting heavy rain as early as Wednesday along the Central Coast, and the storm will hit LA and Orange Counties by Friday and last through Monday.
Under your homeowner’s policy, you have a duty to mitigate any damages caused to your property.
Are you prepared for this rainstorm? If you aren’t sure, you may wish to speak to a licensed roofer regarding how to protect your property from rain-related damage. Here are some common preventative measures.
Clear your gutters of leaves to ensure proper drainage
Have a licensed roofer tarp your roof if you suspect a leak
Clear drains to reduce potential flooding
Stock up on sand bags, just in case of flooding!
Take lots of photographs of any property damage
