Protecting your home from storm damage

6/21/2019 (Permalink)

During the summer, warm weather and sunshine are often accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain.  It is important to know what you can do to prevent storms from wreaking havoc on your home this season.

• Inspect your foundation: cracks in your home’s foundation may lead to unwanted water seeping in during a storm.
• Check for dead trees: dead and diseased trees may not be able to hold up against strong wind and rain during a storm. A fallen branch or limb has the potential to cause major water damage.
• Clean your gutters: clogged gutters cause water buildup around your roof. Over time this may lead to a major water loss. 
• Have your roof inspected: finding any flaws or issues ahead of time will allow you to fortify your roof in preparation for a storm.
