. Flood and storm damage is generally a result of natural occurrences like hurricanes, hail storms, and tornados. These disasters happen during the summer time season which enable it to cause devastating damages to houses and infrastructure. Whereas nature is unpredictable, there are a few techniques it's possible to use to avoid storm damage.

How you can prevent water damage

1. Maintaining surrounding trees

Keeping all tree branches out of the roof is but one sure means of avoiding roof damage. Friction from your leaning branch as well as the rooftop might cause holes in the case of a wind surge. Additionally it is best to cut any weak branches which may disappear.

2. Keeping the top clear of stagnant water

When it rains, water really should run down the rooftop with the gutters. If doesn't necessarily, the lake stagnates and slowly begins to weaken the rooftop. Removing fallen leaves through the water pipes preserves a property owner lots of money doing roof repairs.

3. Maintain a highly ventilated attic

During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and one and only thing saving the rooftop from collapsing will be the heat emanating in the attic. If this evaporation doesn't happen, there's an imminent chance of water getting into your home from the shingles. To prevent this from happening, you should have a skilled professional come confirm the ventilation with your attic before the storm takes hold.

4. Waterproof all openings

Water from storms could possibly get into the home through many openings like the chimneys and skylights. Sealants who have decayed should be repaired with silicone or tar to avoid water leakages. Door and window sealants also can let water in while they weaken with time.

5. Protecting utility lines

It's a common occurrence for several utilities like electricity to get interrupted when storms set in. This may be because of winds weighing down on tree branches and entangling them electricity or telephone lines. To prevent this, always trim tree branches that seem to be growing towards utility supply lines. Don't forget to reduce weak trees that seem to be swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.

Whenever a storm occurs as well as your home remains intact due to the above techniques, the next step is to gain access to the problem around your property. Trees will be the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of those natural occurrences.

Restoration after storm damage

1. Think before acting!

Don't start lowering the trees in panic simply because you think they could fall down later. Over the years, you will be aware those that must go.

2. Tree Grabbers

Timber can be a valuable commodity and there'll always emerge some fellows claiming to be tree experts. These 'experts' will have you allow them to have permission to minimize the trees and carry the offending articles for research. Don't be fooled by them.

3. Tending to the remaining trees

As a final point, employ the expertise of a professional tree professional. He/she will disclose how to care for your surviving trees and protect them down the road from storm related damage.
