Recognizing the consequences of heavy rain: What is important after the event
After heavy rain, it's important to have a clear view of processes, edge zones and connections. The guide covers everything from immediate checks to typical consequential damage to documentation and prevention.
Proceed
Advice, on-site testing, clean system setup
Goal
Long-lasting, dense and easy-care surfaces
Short answer: After heavy rain, drains, edge zones and connection details should be checked and documented. If detected early, consequential damage can usually be kept to a minimum.
Immediate check after heavy rain
First, drains and water levels are checked. Standing water places a particularly high burden on seals.
Any abnormalities in edge areas, door connections and bases should be documented promptly. This makes it clear which consequential damage needs to be checked in the next step.
Short info: Quick test: Check the water level, drains and edge zones on the same day.
Typical consequential damage
Damage often occurs to connection details, transitions or older coverings with fine cracks.
Internal moisture zones can also only become apparent with a delay and should be kept in mind. These points belong in clean documentation.
Short info: Consequential damage almost always begins in detailed areas, not in the area.
Documentation makes the decision easier
Photos with the date and viewing direction help to identify later changes.
A short note about the weather conditions and water level makes the assessment much more reliable. In this way, preventive measures can be planned specifically.
Short info: Documentation saves time if inspection or repairs need to be made later.
Prevention for future events
Regular cleaning of the processes and short visual inspections significantly reduce the risk.
Where water often stands still, it is worth carrying out a technical check of the slope and drainage.
Short info: Prevention is cheaper than subsequent renovation.
Practical knowledge: React correctly after heavy rain
Quick visual inspection and documentation help to keep consequential damage to a minimum.
Checklist for clients
- Check drains and water levels immediately.
- Visually check edge details, door connections and transitions.
- Document any abnormalities with dates and photos.
- If water jams occur repeatedly, schedule a technical inspection.
Common stumbling blocks in practice
- Eliminate water congestion without clarifying the cause.
- Detailed zones do not need to be checked separately.
- Documentation created too late or incomplete.
