Spring brings plenty to enjoy at Admirals Cove. Flowers, longer days, golf, and fishing are things to enjoy during the spring time. One of the less enjoyable things that spring can bring is rain. All the rain can cause tremendous damage to your home and its value. A short amount of time spent on the upkeep of your home can help your home fight off spring showers and summer storms. Here are some ways to waterproof your home in just one weekend.

Rain gutter repairs- Nobody likes to clean and repair gutters but it needs to be done. Using tongs to pull the leaves out will make it easier to clean them out, while extra long lag screws will come in handy for any repairs that need to be made.

Repairing cracks in concrete- Water has a knack for finding the cracks in your concrete and getting in. This will cause the ground underneath to soften and cause more cracking. For small cracks, using concrete caulk will usually do the trick. If the crack is bigger than a quarter of an inch then concrete patches should work just fine.
