Melting snow can cause damage to your home, inside and out.

Heres what to do:

• Check your property for obstructions that might prevent melting snow from draining
• Clear your street storm sewer
• Make sure downspouts and sump pumps drain away from the house and are not obstructed/frozen
• Shovel snow away from downspouts, basement window wells and stairwells
• Check outside pipes for leaks
