Prepare for Summer Storms!

5/9/2023 (Permalink)

Summer is a great time to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with family and friends. However, it’s also a time when summer storms can wreak havoc on your home. Our team has put together a few tips on how to prepare your home for summer storms and what to do if you need water mitigation from water damage. Preparing Your Home for Summer Storms

  1. Check Your Roof: Ensure your roof is in good condition by inspecting for any signs of damage or wear and tear. Any leaks or damage can lead to water damage during storms. Hire a professional to perform a thorough inspection and make any necessary repairs.
  2. Clean Your Gutters: Clogged gutters can lead to water damage as water can overflow and seep into your home. Make sure to clean your gutters and downspouts to avoid this issue.
  3. Trim Trees and Shrubs: Trim any branches that may be hanging over your roof or near your windows. High winds and lightning can cause these branches to fall and cause significant damage.
  4. Secure Outdoor Furniture: Strong winds can easily move or damage your outdoor furniture. Secure or store them away during storms.
  5. Install Storm Shutters: Installing storm shutters on your windows and doors can provide an additional layer of protection during summer storms.
 What to Do If You Need Water Mitigation from Water Damage 
  1. Contact a Professional: If your home suffers from water damage, it’s important to contact a professional water mitigation company such as SERVPRO Team Wilson. They have the necessary equipment and expertise to quickly and effectively mitigate the damage.
  2. Assess the Damage: The water mitigation team will assess the damage and provide a plan of action to remediate the damage.
  3. Begin Mitigation: The water mitigation team will then begin the mitigation process, which may include water extraction, drying, and dehumidification.
  4. Restoration: Once the mitigation process is complete, the restoration process can begin. This may include repairing any damage, replacing any damaged materials, and restoring your home to its pre-damage condition.
Summer storms can cause significant damage to your home, but with proper preparation and quick action, you can minimize the damage. If you do suffer from water damage, contact a professional water mitigation company such as SERVPRO Team Wilson to ensure that the damage is properly mitigated and your home is restored to its pre-damage condition.
