Types Of Storm Damage To Watch Out For
12/31/2024 (Permalink)
The best way to help your property recover from storm damage is to not experience it in the first place. You obviously can’t control the weather forecast, but you take preventative measures to help minimize the effects of inclement weather. Below we’ve listed the most popular types of storm damage and how to prepare:
Downed Trees
As strong as a tree might look, strong winds could be enough to send it toppling over - and into your property! Applying tree stakes can help prevent flimsier trees from getting uprooted, but you should consider cutting down any big ones that might make a large impact.
Hail Damage
Hail can come careening through your windows and leave your property exposed to the outside elements. Enacting emergency board-up services before a known bout of weather can help prevent these from happening.
Cracked Roofing Shingles
Getting roofing shingles repaired immediately will help decrease the likelihood of this problem resulting in roof leaks. Make sure to get your roof inspected annually - especially after a severe thunderstorm hits!
Flooding
Flooding can often happen if a roof leak goes undetected for too long, which can also be caused by a lack of roof maintenance. Emergency board-up services are the best way to prevent water getting inside, but you should always be mindful of your roof’s condition.
