Top 5 Summer Risks That Can Lead to Emergency Restoration Calls

Summers often brings sunshine and vacations but it also comes with a set of seasonal risks that can cause serious damage to homes and businesses. We often see a spike in emergency calls during the warmer months. Here are the top five summer hazards to watch out for:

1. Wildfires & Smoke Damage

As temperatures rise and conditions become dry, wildfire threats increase, especially in forest-adjacent communities. Even if flames don’t reach your home, smoke and soot can cause significant damage to interior surfaces, HVAC systems, and air quality.
Tip: Create a defensible zone by clearing dry brush, leaves, and debris at least 10 meters from your home.

2. Flash Flooding from Summer Storms

Sudden downpours can overwhelm gutters, drains, and municipal systems, leading to flooded basements and property damage.
Tip: Inspect and clean your gutters and downspouts. Consider installing a sump pump with a battery backup system.

3. Air Conditioner Leaks or Failures

An overworked or poorly maintained A/C unit can leak water into your walls or ceilings, leading to mold growth and structural issues.
Tip: Schedule an annual A/C inspection and keep drain lines clear to prevent overflow.

4. Outdoor Water Usage Gone Wrong

Leaky garden hoses, cracked sprinkler lines, and unattended irrigation systems can cause extensive water damage, especially if water seeps into your foundation or basement.
Tip: Regularly inspect hose connections, turn off water when not in use, and avoid overwatering near your home’s exterior.

5. Vacation Mishaps (While You’re Away)

A burst pipe, electrical issue, or unnoticed leak can go undetected for days if you’re away on vacation, leading to extensive damage by the time you return.
Tip: Ask a trusted neighbour to check your home every few days, and consider installing a smart leak or smoke detector that alerts your phone.
