Here are some essential tips to prepare your home for storm season:
Inspect Your Roof and Gutters: Ensure your roof is in good condition and free of loose or damaged shingles. Clean out gutters and downspouts to prevent water from backing up and causing damage.
Trim Trees and Shrubs: Overhanging branches can cause significant damage during a storm. Trim trees and shrubs away from your home and power lines to minimize the risk.
Secure Outdoor Items: Bring in or secure outdoor furniture, decorations, and tools that could become projectiles in high winds.
Check Your Sump Pump: Ensure your sump pump is working correctly and consider installing a battery backup in case of power outages.
Create an Emergency Kit: Assemble an emergency kit with essentials such as water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, a first-aid kit, and necessary medications.
Review Your Insurance Policy: Confirm that your homeowner’s insurance policy covers storm damage and understand the steps for filing a claim.
