Strong weather can come at any time. This means your home could be hit by heavy rain and strong winds throughout the season. Getting caught off-guard can lead to serious problems at your home, meaning multiple repairs and high expenses. However, we know how you can prepare for storm damage. Here are some examples and tips to keep you safe.
Trim the Trees
Tree branches and leaves become dangerous during a storm. What looks like lovely greenery could turn into high-speed debris. This can hit your roof or windows, or it can clog up your gutters. To avoid this, make sure you trim them before the storm hits.
Reinforce the Windows
The windows are vulnerable to debris and strong winds. Reinforcing them with composite materials and storm shutters can keep them intact. You can use aluminum foam to make them more secure.
Preventive Roof Maintenance
As a storm damage restoration company, we have met many clients whose roofs have been affected by storm damage. While repairs are manageable, the best way to secure it is through maintenance. By making sure there are no issues, you can reduce the risk of damage. For example, fixing pre-existing leaks can stop water damage from even occurring.
Review Your Insurance Policy
If you are about to get hit by a storm, you already know that damage is likely to happen. However, you can still fix that damage afterwards. One way to prepare is by reviewing your insurance policy. This way, you can file your claim quickly after inspection.
Get an Inspection
As a storm damage company, we have helped many clients before and after storms. That’s why we recommend having inspections done about a week before storms hit if you can help it.
