Preventative Measures for Your Home
Protecting your home, especially your roof, from severe weather is crucial. Consider these proactive steps to minimize potential storm damage:
- Secure or store outdoor furniture, decorations, and equipment indoors.
- Trim branches close to your roof or windows to prevent damage from falling limbs.
- Ensure gutters and downspouts are clear to efficiently direct rainwater away from your home.
- Inspect your roof regularly for loose, missing, or damaged shingles.
Post-Storm Roof Inspection and Repair
After the storm passes, inspect your roof for signs of damage. Look for indicators such as:
- Shingles that are missing, cracked, or curled.
- Hail indentations or dark spots.
- Leaks or water stains on interior ceilings and walls.
- Damaged flashing around vents, skylights, and chimneys.
