Storm and flood damage is normally a result of natural occurrences like tornados, hail storms and hurricanes. These disasters are experienced during the summer time season and can cause devastating damages to property and infrastructure. Whereas nature is unpredictable, there are a few techniques one can use in order to avoid storm damage.
1. Maintaining the shrubery
Keeping all tree branches outside the roof is certainly one sure means of avoiding roof damage. Friction from your leaning branch as well as the rooftop could cause holes in the eventuality of a wind surge. Additionally it is good to cut any weak branches that may leave.

2. Keep the top free from stagnant water
When it rains, water is supposed to shabby the roof from the gutters. If getting older, the lake stagnates and slowly sets out to weaken the top. Removing fallen leaves through the water pipes helps you to save a property owner a lot of money doing roof repairs.
3. Keeping a highly ventilated attic
During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and the thing saving the cover from collapsing is the heat emanating in the attic. If the evaporation doesn't happen, there's an imminent likelihood of water engaging in your home over the shingles. To prevent this from happening, you need to have a qualified professional come confirm the ventilation with your attic ahead of the storm sets in.
4. Waterproof all openings
Water from storms will get into the home through many openings such as the chimneys and skylights. Sealants which have decayed have to be repaired with silicone or tar in order to avoid water leakages. Door and window sealants also can let water in because they weaken eventually.
5. Monitoring electricity and phone lines
It's a common occurrence for many utilities including electricity to be interrupted when storms set in. This may be as a result of winds weighing recorded on tree branches and entangling them with electricity or telephone lines. To stop this, always trim tree branches that seem to be growing towards utility supply lines. Remember to reduce weak trees that are swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.
Each time a storm occurs along with your home remains intact as a result of above techniques, the next step is to get into the specific situation around your property. Trees include the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of these natural occurrences.
Restoration after storm damage
1. Don't panic!
Do not start reducing the trees in panic simply because you think they might slip later. As time passes, you will know which ones 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 have you provide them with permission to reduce the trees and carry them for research. Don't let yourself be fooled by them.
3. Caring for the remainder trees
Lastly, employ the assistance of a professional tree professional. He/she will reveal how to tend to your surviving trees and protect them in the foreseeable future from storm caused water issues.
