A water damage disaster is often caused by natural occurrences including tornados, hail storms and hurricanes. Most of these are experienced during the warm months season and may cause devastating damages to homes and infrastructure. Whereas mother nature is unpredictable, there are a few techniques one can possibly use to stop storm damage.

Tips to avoid flooded basement

1. Maintaining the hedges

Keeping all tree branches from the roof is one sure way of preventing roof damage. Friction from your leaning branch along with the rooftop can cause holes in the eventuality of a wind surge. It's also great for cut any weak branches which may fall off.

2. Keep the top free from stagnant water

In the event it rains, water should certainly run down the cover over the gutters. If doesn't necessarily, water stagnates and slowly sets out to weaken the cover. Removing fallen leaves through the water pipes will save a home owner lots of money doing roof repairs.

3. Maintain a nicely ventilated attic

During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and one and only thing saving the rooftop from collapsing will be the heat emanating in the attic. If this type of evaporation does not occur, it has an imminent risk of water getting into your house over the shingles. To stop this from happening, it is advisable to have a qualified professional come check the ventilation within your attic ahead of the storm takes hold.

4. Waterproof all openings

Water from storms can get into the home through many openings including the chimneys and skylights. Sealants which may have decayed must be repaired with silicone or tar to avoid water leakages. Door and window sealants can also let water in while they weaken after a while.

5. Protecting power transmission lines

It is a common occurrence for certain utilities including electricity to be interrupted when storms set in. This might be because 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 minimize weak trees which are swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.

Each time a storm occurs plus your home remains intact due to above techniques, the time has come to get into the situation around your own home. Trees include the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of such natural occurrences.

Restoration after storm damage

1. Avoid panicking

Tend not to start cutting down the trees in panic even though you imagine they might collapse later. Over the years, you should understand those that must go.

2. Fake experts

Timber is a valuable commodity and there'll always emerge some fellows claiming to get tree experts. These 'experts' will request you to give them permission to cut down the trees and carry the offending articles for research. Do not be fooled by them.

3. Caring for the remaining trees

Finally, employ the help of an experienced tree professional. He/she will reveal how to look after your surviving trees and protect them in the foreseeable future from storm caused water issues.
