Spring Storm Preparation Tips
Many storms wreak havoc on local homes and businesses. Protect your property by inspecting the roof, cleaning the gutters, and trimming overhanging branches. These proactive steps will help you to prevent severe storm damage in the future.
With small steps, you can minimize the risk and keep your property safe. Stay prepared to face the elements with confidence this storm season!
Protect Your Property During Heavy Rains
Rain is a major cause of extensive water and flood damage. If you leave it unaddressed, water damage can lead to structural instability, rotting, warping, mold growth, and eventually collapse. Prevent these issues with simple steps. That includes:
- Point gutters and downspouts away from your home.
- Clear leaves, sticks, acorns, and other debris from gutter entry points to eliminate blockage.
- Utilize splash blocks at the outlet points of the downspouts.
- Install underground pipes to carry water even further away from the home and its foundation.
- Consider investing in flood insurance, if you haven't already. The average homeowner’s insurance policy does not cover flood damage.
Be Prepared to Tackle Strong Winds
With the right amount of gusts, winds can be incredibly dangerous. Not only does the wind sling debris, but it can also rattle trees and limbs, causing them to fall. Check around your house:
- Inspect trees, fences, and other items that could suffer damage.
- Cut overhanging limbs, branches, and foliage that threaten the roof, windows, outside walls, fences, or deck.
- When a storm is coming, secure patio furniture, toys, and yard equipment that could potentially hit your property.
- Park cars out of striking damage of trees and limbs.
Proactive Steps to Prevent Hail Damage
Hail are frozen balls of ice that can fall even on the warmest days. Hail can be extremely hazardous to homes, cars, and even people. Avoid significant hail damage:
- Park cars inside the garage or under a carport to ensure hail does not damage the paint finish or glass.
- If you do not have a covered area to park under, use blankets over the glass to minimize the impact.
- During hail, close windows, blinds, and curtains in the event of a broken window.
- Move fragile pots and patio furniture out of the path of hail.
- Contact your insurance agent immediately if you suffer hail damage.
