A water damage disaster is often brought on by natural occurrences including hurricanes, tornados and hail storms. A large number of these are experienced in the summer season which enable it to cause devastating damages to homes and infrastructure. Whereas mother nature is unpredictable, there are several techniques it's possible to use to avoid storm damage.
1. Maintaining surrounding hedges
Keeping all tree branches from the roof is one sure way of avoiding roof damage. Friction between a leaning branch along with the rooftop might cause holes in the case of a wind surge. It is usually great for cut any weak branches that may leave.

2. Keep the top away from stagnant water
If it rains, water is supposed to rundown the roof through the gutters. If this doesn't happen, the water stagnates and slowly starts to weaken the top. Removing fallen leaves from your water pipes helps you to save a property owner big money doing roof repairs.
3. Maintain a highly ventilated attic
During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and the one thing saving the cover from collapsing is the hot air emanating from the attic. If this evaporation does not occur, there is an imminent likelihood of water engaging in your own home with the shingles. To preclude this from happening, make sure you use a skilled professional come check the ventilation within your attic prior to storm begins.
4. Make watertight all openings
Water from storms will get into the home through many openings like the chimneys and skylights. Sealants which may have decayed should be repaired with silicone or tar to prevent water leakages. Window and door sealants can also let water in since they weaken as time passes.
5. Monitoring power cables
It's a common occurrence for several utilities like electricity to get interrupted when storms occur. This can be because of winds weighing down on tree branches and entangling these with electricity or telephone lines. In order to avoid this, always trim tree branches that seem to be growing towards utility supply lines. Remember to reduce weak trees that seem to be swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.
When a storm occurs plus your home remains intact because of the above techniques, the next step is gain access to the specific situation around your home. Trees include the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of these natural occurrences.
Restoration after flood damage
1. Don't panic!
Don't start cutting down the trees in panic because you think that they might drop later. As time passes, you'll know which of them must go.
2. Bad advice
Timber is a valuable commodity and there will always emerge some fellows claiming to become tree experts. These 'experts' will ask you to provide them with permission to cut down the trees and carry them away for research. Don't be fooled by them.
3. Caring for the remaining trees
As a final point, employ the expertise of a certified tree professional. He/she will reveal how to look after your surviving trees and protect them later on from storm caused damage.
