What Are Some Great Storm Damage Prevention Tips I Can Use To Protect My Home Or Business?

Here at SERVPRO, our extensive experience with storm damage in the Huron & East Seneca Counties area means we know some ways you can protect yourself, your loved ones, and your property:

• Inspect your home, business, and grounds before inclement weather moves into the area. Your exterior doors and windows should fit correctly and be weather-stripped. Roofing needs to be evaluated and repaired ahead of time to withstand inclement weather conditions and prevent further storm damage.
• Trim back trees and bushes with large, unhealthy branches, so people and property are not in danger of destruction. Ice and snow can be very heavy, causing trees and branches to fall. 
• Secure your fencing and outdoor furniture ahead of bad weather to avoid damage from high winds.
• Consider installing a landline so you can still communicate if your cell phone towers get damaged or go down. Have an emergency radio and a supply of batteries on hand to receive emergency updates and alerts.
