A water damage disaster is often caused by natural occurrences such as tornados, hurricanes and hail storms. Many of these are experienced during the warm months season and may cause devastating damages to houses and infrastructure. Whereas nature is unpredictable, there are many techniques it's possible to use to stop storm damage.

How homeowners can prevent storm damage

1. Maintaining the hedges

Keeping all tree branches outside the roof is one sure way of avoiding roof damage. Friction from the leaning branch and the rooftop might cause holes in the event of a wind surge. It is also helpful to cut any weak branches which may disappear.

2. Keeping the top free from stagnant water

If it rains, water should really shabby the rooftop over the gutters. If no, water stagnates and slowly starts to weaken the roof. Removing fallen leaves from your water pipes preserves a home owner a lot of money doing roof repairs.

3. Keeping an adequately ventilated attic

During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and one and only thing saving the rooftop from collapsing may be the heat emanating through the attic. If this type of evaporation does not occur, there is an imminent risk of water getting into your home with the shingles. To prevent this from happening, it is advisable to possess a qualified professional come confirm the ventilation within your attic ahead of the storm takes hold.

4. Make watertight all openings

Water from storms can get to your home through many openings including the chimneys and skylights. Sealants who have decayed should be repaired with silicone or tar to stop water leakages. Door and window sealants may also let water in while they weaken eventually.

5. Protecting power lines

This is a common occurrence for certain utilities like electricity being interrupted when storms placed in. This is on account of winds weighing recorded on tree branches and entangling them electricity or telephone lines. To avoid this, always trim tree branches which are growing towards utility supply lines. Keep in mind to cut down weak trees which are swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.

Each time a storm occurs along with your home remains intact due to above techniques, the time has come to get into the problem around your property. Trees include the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of these natural occurrences.

Restoration after water damage

1. Don't panic!

Do not start scaling down the trees in panic just because you imagine they might fall down later. Over the years, you'll know which ones 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 require you to let them have permission to reduce the trees and carry the offending articles for research. Don't let yourself be fooled by them.

3. Caring for the remainder trees

Last but not least, employ the assistance of an experienced tree professional. He/she will highlight how to tend to your surviving trees and protect them in the future from storm related damage.
