Storm and flood damage is normally a result of natural occurrences like hurricanes, tornados and hail storms. Many of these are experienced in the summer season and will cause devastating damages to homes and infrastructure. Whereas mother nature is unpredictable, there are a few techniques one can use to avoid storm damage.

Avoiding storm damage

1. Pruning the bushes

Keeping all tree branches from the roof is but one sure way of preventing roof damage. Friction from the leaning branch along with the rooftop might cause holes in case of a wind surge. Additionally it is helpful to cut any weak branches which may go away.

2. Keeping the roof free from stagnant water

In the event it rains, water really should run-down the roof with the gutters. If getting older, the river stagnates and slowly sets out to weaken the roof. Removing fallen leaves from your water pipes preserves a property owner a lot of cash doing roof repairs.

3. Keeping a nicely ventilated attic

During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and the thing saving the roof from collapsing could be the heat emanating from your attic. If the evaporation does not occur, it comes with an imminent risk of water engaging in your property through the shingles. To prevent this from happening, it is advisable to have a very qualified professional come confirm the ventilation with your attic prior to storm takes hold.

4. Waterproof all openings

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

5. Monitoring power lines

It is a common occurrence for several utilities like electricity to be interrupted when storms emerge. This may be because of winds weighing recorded on tree branches and entangling them with electricity or telephone lines. In order to avoid this, always trim tree branches which are growing towards utility supply lines. Don't forget to reduce weak trees that are swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.

When a storm occurs and your home remains intact due to the above techniques, the next step is gain access to the specific situation around your own home. Trees would be the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of those natural occurrences.

Restoration after damage


1. Avoid panicking

Do not start lowering the trees in panic even though you imagine they may slip later. Over the years, you should understand which ones must go.

2. Fake experts

Timber can be a valuable commodity and there will always emerge some fellows claiming being tree experts. These 'experts' will request you to allow them to have permission to cut down the trees and carry them for research. Do not be fooled by them.

3. Tending to the residual trees

Lastly, employ the help of a qualified tree professional. He/she will show you how to tend your surviving trees and protect them in the foreseeable future from storm related damage.
