The Midwest is known for heavy rainstorms that produce flash-floods and localized damage. Many areas receive up to 64 inches of rain each year, most of which pours during the spring. Heavy rainstorms coupled with melting snow create a treacherous atmosphere where moisture can threaten the safety of your home.While inclement weather is a normal part of life, homeowners should be specifically concerned about rainwater for two reasons:

• Structural damage: Consistent moisture inside or around your home weakens the foundation, which results in cracks, flooding, and mold. This can happen as a result of standing water inside the home or a constant barrage of storms that moisten its structure.
• Landscape damage: Rainwater can damage the rest of your property as well, creating aesthetic, health, and safety risks. To protect your landscape from rainwater, be sure that excess water has a path to escape. Plants in your garden and throughout the yard may become overly saturated and drown otherwise. Likewise, prevent puddles throughout the lawn. Standing water creates a breeding ground for mosquitos. Finally, while driveways and patios are usually able to last for 20 years or more, they can experience damage from water, particularly when water collects beneath the concrete.
