Summer in Reno brings more than just sunshine—it brings heatwaves, storms, and dry conditions that can strain your home if you're not ready. The good news? A little preparation now can help you avoid unnecessary damage and stress this season.

Start with your gutters. Clear out debris to make sure water can flow away from your home during summer storms. Clogged gutters can lead to water seeping into your roofline or foundation.

Check your roof and windows next. Reno’s fluctuating temperatures can crack shingles and wear down seals, allowing moisture or heat to sneak in. Repairing these early can save you money and hassle later.

Inside your home, make sure your AC system is running efficiently. Clean filters and inspect the condensate line—this is a common culprit for water leaks in the summer months.

Lastly, create a defensible space around your home. Trim bushes, remove dead vegetation, and keep flammable items away from your exterior. In Reno’s dry summer heat, fire safety is key.

Taking action now can help you enjoy the season without interruptions. And if you ever run into a remediation issue, call SERVPRO of Reno East at (775) 430-3842

Mold in Reno: How It Starts and How to Keep It Away

You might not think mold is a problem in Reno’s dry climate, but even here, it can creep in—especially after spring rain, snowmelt, or indoor leaks. And once mold takes hold, it can damage both your home and your health.

The first step in preventing mold is managing moisture. Small leaks under sinks, slow-draining appliances, or humidity in crawl spaces can all create an ideal breeding ground. Check these areas regularly, especially during season changes.

Ventilation matters too. Make sure bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens have proper airflow. If your home feels humid, especially in the spring, a dehumidifier might be a smart investment.

Inspect your roof, gutters, and window seals for wear and tear. When these systems fail, water can get in—and mold is never far behind.

By staying proactive with simple maintenance, you can protect your Reno home from unnecessary mold damage. But if you do discover mold or suspect it may be growing out of sight, call SERVPRO of Reno East at (775) 430-3842. We're here to help.
