. Water damage in your home is usually a result of natural occurrences such as tornados, hail storms and hurricanes. A large number of these occur during the warm months season and can cause devastating damages to houses and infrastructure. Whereas nature is unpredictable, there are a few techniques you can use to prevent storm damage.

Tips to avoid flood damage

1. Trimming the shrubery

Keeping all tree branches outside the roof is a sure way of avoiding roof damage. Friction from your leaning branch along with the rooftop could cause holes in the event of a wind surge. It is usually helpful to cut any weak branches that could fall off.

2. Keeping the top away from stagnant water

If this rains, water really should shabby the top over the gutters. If doesn't necessarily, water stagnates and slowly actually starts to weaken the rooftop. Removing fallen leaves through the water pipes will save your house owner lots of money doing roof repairs.

3. Keep an adequately 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 the attic. If it evaporation doesn't occur, there's an imminent risk of water getting yourself into your property with the shingles. To preclude this from happening, you need to have a very skilled professional come look at the ventilation within your attic ahead of the storm takes hold.

4. Seal all openings

Water from storms could possibly get in your home through many openings like the chimneys and skylights. Sealants which may have decayed have to be repaired with silicone or tar to avoid water leakages. Window and door sealants can also let water in while they weaken eventually.

5. Monitoring electricity and phone transmission lines

It is a common occurrence for sure utilities like electricity being interrupted when storms emerge. This might be because of winds weighing down on tree branches and entangling them electricity or telephone lines. In order to avoid this, always trim tree branches that are growing towards utility supply lines. Remember to minimize weak trees that seem to be swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.

Whenever a storm occurs plus your home remains intact as a result of above techniques, it is now time gain access to your situation around your property. Trees are the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of those natural occurrences.

Restoration after storm damage

1. Don't panic!

Tend not to start lowering the trees in panic even though you believe they may drop later. As time goes by, you should understand those that must go.

2. Bad advice

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

3. Tending to the remainder trees

Last but not least, employ the assistance of a qualified tree professional. He/she will highlight how to look after your surviving trees and protect them later on from storm caused damage.
