Basement flooding is often a result of natural occurrences such as tornados, hurricanes and hail storms. These are experienced in the summer season and will cause devastating damages to homes and infrastructure. Whereas mother nature is unpredictable, there are some techniques one can possibly use to stop storm damage.

Steer clear of flood damage

1. Pruning the shrubery

Keeping all tree branches out of the roof is one sure way of preventing roof damage. Friction from a leaning branch along with the rooftop may cause holes in the event of a wind surge. It is also helpful to cut any weak branches that might fall off.

2. Keep the top totally free of stagnant water

If it rains, water is supposed to rundown the cover through the gutters. If doesn't necessarily, the lake stagnates and slowly starts to weaken the rooftop. Removing fallen leaves from your water pipes helps you to save a property owner a lot of cash doing roof repairs.

3. Keeping a highly ventilated attic

During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and the thing saving the top from collapsing may be the heat emanating through the attic. If the evaporation does not occur, it comes with an imminent chance of water getting yourself into your own home with the shingles. To prevent this from happening, it is advisable to have a qualified professional come confirm the ventilation within your attic ahead of the storm sets in.

4. Seal all openings

Water from storms can get in your home through many openings for example the chimneys and skylights. Sealants which may have decayed need to be repaired with silicone or tar to stop water leakages. Window and door sealants may also let water in while they weaken as time passes.

5. Protecting utility transmission lines

It is a common occurrence for several utilities including electricity to be interrupted when storms emerge. This can be as a result of winds weighing upon tree branches and entangling them 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 which are swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.

Whenever a storm occurs and your home remains intact as a result of above techniques, it is now time gain access to your situation around your own home. Trees would be the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of these natural occurrences.

Restoration after flood damage

1. Avoid panicking

Usually do not start scaling down the trees in panic simply because you think they may collapse later. As time passes, you will know which of them must go.

2. Fake experts

Timber can be a valuable commodity and there'll always emerge some fellows claiming being tree experts. These 'experts' will require you to provide them with permission to reduce the trees and carry the offending articles for research. Do not be fooled by them.

3. Looking after the residual trees

As a final point, employ the assistance of a certified tree professional. He/she will highlight how to care for your surviving trees and protect them later on from storm damage.
