A water damage disaster is normally brought on by natural occurrences for example hurricanes, tornados and hail storms. These situations are experienced in the summer season and can cause devastating damages to property and infrastructure. Whereas nature is unpredictable, there are a few techniques one can use to prevent storm damage.

Methods to prevent storm damage

1. Trimming surrounding hedges

Keeping all tree branches outside the roof is but one sure way of avoiding roof damage. Friction from your leaning branch as well as the rooftop may cause holes in the case of a wind surge. It's also great for cut any weak branches that could fall off.

2. Keeping the rooftop free from stagnant water

If it rains, water should really run-down the cover from the gutters. If doesn't necessarily, the lake stagnates and slowly starts to weaken the top. Removing fallen leaves from your water pipes will save you a property owner big money doing roof repairs.

3. Keeping a nicely ventilated attic

During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and one and only thing saving the top from collapsing will be the hot air emanating from your attic. If this evaporation does not occur, there is an imminent probability of water getting yourself into your home through the shingles. To stop this from happening, you need to have a qualified professional come confirm the ventilation in your attic prior to storm sets in.

4. Water-proof all openings

Water from storms could get into the home through many openings like the chimneys and skylights. Sealants which have decayed must be repaired with silicone or tar in order to avoid water leakages. Door and window sealants can also let water in as they weaken eventually.

5. Monitoring utility wires

It is a common occurrence for several utilities for example electricity being interrupted when storms emerge. This may be as a result of winds weighing recorded on tree branches and entangling all of them with electricity or telephone lines. To prevent this, always trim tree branches that are growing towards utility supply lines. Also remember to cut down weak trees that are swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.

Whenever a storm occurs along with your home remains intact due to above techniques, the time has come to access the specific situation around your property. Trees include the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of the natural occurrences.

Restoration after storm damage

1. Think before acting!

Do not start reducing the trees in panic just because you think that some may drop later. As time passes, you will know those that must go.

2. Make believe experts

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

3. Looking after the remainder trees

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