A water damage disaster is generally caused by natural occurrences such as hail storms, tornados and hurricanes. These disasters happen during the warm months season and can cause devastating damages to property and infrastructure. Whereas mother nature is unpredictable, there are a few techniques one can use to avoid storm damage.

How homeowners can not be victims of flood damage

1. Trimming your hedges

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

2. Keeping the roof clear of stagnant water

If it rains, water really should rundown the cover from the gutters. If no, the river stagnates and slowly starts to weaken the top. Removing fallen leaves in the water pipes will save a home owner big money doing roof repairs.

3. Keep a properly ventilated attic

During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and the one thing saving the rooftop from collapsing will be the heat emanating through the attic. If the evaporation doesn't occur, there is an imminent probability of water getting yourself into your property with the shingles. To stop this from happening, you need to possess a qualified professional come look into the ventilation with your attic prior to storm sets in.

4. Water-proof all openings

Water from storms can get to your home through many openings like the chimneys and skylights. Sealants which may have decayed need to be repaired with silicone or tar to stop water leakages. Door and window sealants may also let water in since they weaken with time.

5. Protecting power transmission lines

It's a common occurrence for certain utilities for example electricity to get interrupted when storms occur. This is because of winds weighing upon tree branches and entangling these with electricity or telephone lines. To prevent this, always trim tree branches that seem to be growing towards utility supply lines. Keep in mind to cut down weak trees that 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 the situation around your house. Trees are the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of the natural occurrences.

Restoration after storm damage

1. Don't panic!

Usually do not start lowering the trees in panic because you imagine they might drop later. As time passes, you will know those that must go.

2. Bad advice

Timber is a valuable commodity and there'll always emerge some fellows claiming to become tree experts. These 'experts' will have you give them permission to minimize the trees and carry them away for research. Don't let yourself be fooled by them.

3. Taking care of the rest of the trees

Lastly, employ the help of a professional tree professional. He/she will disclose how to care for your surviving trees and protect them in the future from storm caused water issues.
