As spring is in full swing, it’s important to prepare for the storm season. Here are a few essential tips to help protect your home:
Inspect and Repair Your Roof
Ensure your roof is in good condition by inspecting for loose or damaged shingles. Repair any issues promptly to prevent leaks and water damage.
Clean and Secure Gutters
Keep your gutters and downspouts clear of debris to allow proper water drainage. Secure any loose sections to prevent them from detaching during high winds.
Trim Trees and Shrubs
Trim any branches that could potentially fall on your home during a storm. This reduces the risk of damage to your roof, windows, and siding.
Secure Outdoor Furniture and Items
Bring in or secure any outdoor furniture, decorations, and equipment. Loose items can become dangerous projectiles in high winds.
Check and Strengthen Doors
Ensure all doors, including garage doors, are securely installed and can withstand strong winds. Reinforce them if necessary.
