Storm and flood damage is often caused by natural occurrences like tornados, hurricanes and hail storms. Many of these occur during the warm months season and will cause devastating damages to property and infrastructure. Whereas mother nature is unpredictable, there are a few techniques it's possible to use to prevent storm damage.
1. Pruning surrounding trees
Keeping all tree branches from the roof is but one sure means of avoiding roof damage. Friction between a leaning branch along with the rooftop could cause holes in the eventuality of a wind surge. It's also best to cut any weak branches that may go away.

2. Keep the rooftop clear of stagnant water
When it rains, water should certainly shabby the roof from the gutters. If this doesn't happen, water stagnates and slowly actually starts to weaken the roof. Removing fallen leaves from your water pipes preserves a house owner a lot of cash doing roof repairs.
3. Keeping a properly ventilated attic
During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and the only thing saving the top from collapsing will be the heat emanating from your attic. If this evaporation doesn't happen, there's an imminent likelihood of water engaging in your home from the shingles. To preclude this from happening, you need to use a qualified professional come look at the ventilation within your attic prior to storm takes hold.
4. Make water-tight all openings
Water from storms will get into the home through many openings such as the chimneys and skylights. Sealants which may have decayed have to be repaired with silicone or tar to stop water leakages. Door and window sealants can also let water in because they weaken after a while.
5. Monitoring electricity and phone transmission lines
It's a common occurrence for sure utilities like electricity to be interrupted when storms placed in. This may be as a result of winds weighing down on tree branches and entangling them with electricity or telephone lines. To stop this, always trim tree branches that are growing towards utility supply lines. Keep in mind to reduce weak trees that seem to be swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.
Each time a storm occurs along with your home remains intact due to the above techniques, the time has come gain access to the problem around your home. Trees would be the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of such natural occurrences.
Restoration after flood damage
1. Avoid panicking
Do not start reducing the trees in panic even though you imagine they may drop later. As time goes by, you should understand those that must go.
2. Bad advice
Timber can be a valuable commodity and there will always emerge some fellows claiming being tree experts. These 'experts' will require you to let them have permission to reduce the trees and carry them away for research. Don't be fooled by them.
3. Taking care of the residual trees
Finally, employ the help of an experienced tree professional. He/she will disclose how to look after your surviving trees and protect them in the future from storm caused water issues.
