## Story

April isn’t the only month that brings showers in Utah. Locals can experience the most rainfall between April - May. In a recent KSL TV segment, Blake Taylor from Handyman Pro in Salt Lake City shared some tips with locals on how to prevent water damage in the home.

“Water is the great enemy to homeownership,” Taylor told KSL TV. Taylor recommends checking the downspouts and gutters to make sure they aren’t clogged. This way, water can drain instead of collecting and causing a bigger issue down the line. According to Taylor, window seals should also be checked and re-caulked if there are any holes. Homeowners with central air should also flush their drains once per year. If you head outdoors, curbs and concrete should be checked to make sure water is flowing away from the house, not toward it.
