Blame it on the rain? Homeowners don’t need that line when they’ve taken the opportunity to prepare their homes for storms. Damage from severe storms such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and thunderstorms can disrupt life. However, here are several ideas for preparing your home to withstand the damage that nature can bring your way.
EVALUATE YOUR HOME’S EXTERIOR
A monthly scheduled overview of your home’s exterior can leverage your readiness for storm season. You will want to prevent water from entering your home via your roof, windows, doors, or garage. Look for weaknesses, leaks, openings, or broken materials. Repairing these areas can assure you that water and wind will remain outside.
EVALUATE YOUR GUTTERS
It is important to check your gutters regularly for leaves, debris, ice, and branches. Clearing these items out of your gutters will ensure that water will flow freely through your gutters and away from your home.
EVALUATE TREES NEAR YOUR HOME
Heavy rains and high winds during a storm can bring down dead limbs and even whole trees. These limbs and trees can potentially fall on your vehicles, damage your roof, siding or even your windows. Pruning the limbs or even cutting down unhealthy trees prior to storms can reduce the risk of property damage.
EVALUATE OUTDOOR ITEMS
Homeowners can secure loose outdoor furniture, sports equipment, and gardening tools prior to storms to reduce the risk of high winds carrying them through windows or doors, causing unnecessary property damage.
