With November rains approaching in Hawaii, a few simple steps can help protect your yard and prevent potential water damage to your home.
1. Clear Outdoor Drains and Gutters
Leaves and debris can clog drains and gutters, causing water to pool around your home’s foundation. Clearing them out ensures rainwater flows away from your home, minimizing flood risks.
2. Check Soil Grading Near Your Foundation
Ensure that soil around your home slopes away from the foundation. Proper grading prevents water from seeping into your basement or crawl space.
3. Secure Outdoor Furniture and Accessories
High winds and rain can shift or damage outdoor items. Bring lightweight furniture indoors or secure it to prevent accidents and water damage.
By prepping your yard for heavy rain, you’ll protect your property, avoid erosion, and maintain a well-kept yard during Hawaii's rainy season.
