During this time of year, sudden downpours can overwhelm gutters, storm drains, and drainage systems, causing water to accumulate around foundations and enter basements, crawl spaces, and other vulnerable areas of the home. In addition, clogged gutters and poor grading can increase the risk of water intrusion, while high humidity levels may contribute to moisture buildup and mold growth if not addressed promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Homeowners Need to Be Aware of Water Damage Risks During Summer Storm Season<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early awareness can help prevent costly damage and unnecessary stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Preventive Measures:<\/strong> Regularly inspect and clean gutters, downspouts, window wells, sump pumps, and drainage systems to ensure they are functioning properly before severe storms arrive. Check for cracks in foundations and seal any openings that could allow water intrusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Early Action:<\/strong> After heavy rainfall, inspect your basement, crawl space, and other low-lying areas for signs of water intrusion, dampness, or unusual odors. Addressing issues quickly can help prevent mold growth, structural damage, and expensive repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cost Savings:<\/strong> Proactive maintenance and early intervention can save homeowners thousands of dollars in restoration costs. Taking simple steps now can help protect your property from the damaging effects of Denver&#8217;s summer storm season and keep your home safe and dry throughout the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By PuroClean of Denver \u00b7 July 2026 \u00b7 5 min read Many Denver homeowners don&#8217;t realize that July is one of the peak months for water damage due to heavy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1003,"featured_media":0,"template":"","blog-category":[11],"class_list":["post-19457","blog","type-blog","status-publish","hentry","blog-category-water-restoration"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/denver-co-puroclean-central-denver\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/19457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/denver-co-puroclean-central-denver\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/denver-co-puroclean-central-denver\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/blog"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/denver-co-puroclean-central-denver\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1003"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/denver-co-puroclean-central-denver\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/19457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19480,"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/denver-co-puroclean-central-denver\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/19457\/revisions\/19480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/denver-co-puroclean-central-denver\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"blog-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/denver-co-puroclean-central-denver\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog-category?post=19457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
