Water Damage remediation

As a landlord I have came across many issues where I needed help cleaning up water damage. Especially one of the sides of my duplex -- after a heavy rain storm, the water seemed to just want to gush in around a window well, soaking the carpet in the basement.

So, just recently, I had Rapid Restoration come and do the water damage repair for me.

What I decided to do was to have them dig into the front landscape against the cinderblock foundation, down about 5 feet or so. Then they put some type of water resistant material down, and sealed my cinderblock foundation, and then put the dirt back up.

Also, I got a large splash guard on my gutter. My roof is shaped as a V, and then the water collects and gushes straight toward the side of the roof, where that window well was.

So, I am happy about that. We have had quite a few large storms since then, and no water!!

This has been a nightmare for me, but I am glad it is over. I hate having water coming into the house.
