Austin Texas Smoke Damage

Izvor: KiWi

Water damage in your home is usually caused by natural occurrences like hurricanes, hail storms, and tornados. Many of these occur in the summertime season and can cause devastating damages to homes and infrastructure. Whereas weather is unpredictable, there are many techniques you can use to prevent storm damage.

Ways to avoid storm damage

1. Maintaining surrounding hedges

Keeping all tree branches outside the roof is a sure way of avoiding roof damage. Friction from the leaning branch along with the rooftop can cause holes in case of a wind surge. It's also helpful to cut any weak branches which may go away.

2. Keep the rooftop away from stagnant water

If it rains, water should certainly run-down the rooftop with the gutters. If this doesn't happen, the water stagnates and slowly sets out to weaken the roof. Removing fallen leaves through the water pipes will save you your house owner lots of money doing roof repairs.

3. Keep a nicely ventilated attic

During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and the one thing saving the cover from collapsing may be the hot air emanating from your attic. If the evaporation doesn't occur, it has an imminent likelihood of water getting into your property over the shingles. To preclude this from happening, you should use a skilled professional come look at the ventilation inside your attic before the storm begins.

4. Make water-tight all openings

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

5. Protecting utility wires

It is a common occurrence for many utilities such as electricity to be interrupted when storms placed in. This can be due to winds weighing down on tree branches and entangling them electricity or telephone lines. To prevent this, always trim tree branches which are growing towards utility supply lines. Also remember to cut down weak trees that are swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.

Each time a storm occurs as well as your home remains intact due to the above techniques, the time has come to access the specific situation around your property. Trees are the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of those natural occurrences.

Restoration after flood damage


1. Don't panic!

Don't start reducing the trees in panic because you think some may drop later. Over time, you should understand which ones must go.

2. Fake experts

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

3. Taking care of the rest of the trees

Lastly, employ the services of an experienced tree professional. He/she will reveal how to look after your surviving trees and protect them down the road from storm caused water issues.
