While spring’s warming weather and returning plant life makes it a favorite time of year for many, there is no denying that this season can also bring some wild and destructive storms. While you can’t control the weather, there are certain things you can do to minimize your risk for property damage from a spring storm.
1. Trim Trees and Shrubs
Strong thunderstorms can bring down tree branches, knocking off roof shingles or damaging glass windows. Trim back all shrubs and trees growing near the house, particularly those that overhang the roof or come close to windows.
2. Sump Pump Maintenance
The basement sump pump helps remove moisture and incoming water from your basement to prevent flooding. During heavy spring storms, it will need to work even harder to prevent water damage. A spring maintenance check will give you confidence that the sump pump won’t fail when you need it most.
3. Clear the Yard
Powerful winds can turn items in your yard into destructive projectiles. Regularly clear branches and other debris out of your yard. If a storm is in the forecast, bring outdoor furniture and decor inside or secure these items so they don’t get blown away.
