How to Prepare your Home for Storms

2/10/2020 (Permalink)

Getting your home prepared before a heavy rain storm or for the potential hurricane/ tropical storm is important for all homeowners to do. In the case of a storm, heavy rains can cause flooding and heavy winds can cause branches to break off trees or for objects outside a home such as furniture or flower pots to move around and cause damage to the property.

Prepare your home:

1. Check your roof regularly to make sure that there are no loose shingles or leaks to ensure that it is in good condition.
2. It is important to keep your homes gutters, downspouts, and drains free and clear of leaves and debris.
3. Be sure to remove branches that are close to the home.
4. Loose items around the home such as furniture, plant pots, or decorations need to be secured safely or brought inside.
