Protecting Your Home from Storm Water Damage

Hurricanes and storms can wreak havoc and cause danger to your family and property. Being ready for an incoming storm or hurricane is important for staying safe. This prevents your home from incurring extensive damage from the storm. Prepare in advance and make sure you have everything you need to survive the hurricane. 

In this article, we will discuss some ways to protect your home from storm water damage.

Before landfall, make sure you do any needed repairs and protect your home's exterior. 

Storm Shutters and Hurricane Windows

Block and seal windows to guard against water seepage by installing storm shutters. Storm or hurricane shutters are durable enough to block the water. 

Hurricane Impact Doors

You also need to consider installing hurricane impact doors. This type of door is made of materials that have been tested and approved to withstand the most severe weather conditions. 

Roof Inspection 

Inspect your roof for missing, damaged, aging shingles and make necessary repairs. By doing this, you are avoiding any unwanted problems such as roof leaks that could cause water damage.

Downspouts

Remove debris such as leaves or branches that may have accumulated in downspouts and rain gutters. Downspouts must be positioned in a way that they direct the water flow away from the house.

Gutter Guards

Water damage is one of the quickest ways to devalue your home. To prevent water damage to the ceiling, clear your gutters of debris to ensure that water would flows away from your home. In order to keep leaves and foreign objects off your gutter, consider installing gutter guards to prevent debris accumulation.

Sprinklers and Irrigation Systems 

Got sprinklers or irrigation systems? Inspect occasionally to make sure that they aren't causing water damage to your walls or house foundation. 

Emergency Board-Up

Even if you have storm shutters and hurricane windows, it’s better to install additional protection in the form of emergency board-ups. This will offer added protection to minimize damage as much as possible.

Sand Bags

Properly filled and well-maintained sandbags can be useful in redirecting storm water and debris away from your home. However, remember that sandbags can’t repel heavy water flow. Sandbags offer water protection up to two feet high. 

Cracks and Openings

Seal any cracks or openings outside your home . Always pay attention to holes that could potentially welcome water inside.

Bonita Springs COVID-19 Cleaning Service

Many countries have responded to the coronavirus outbreak by enforcing a lockdown to break the chain of infection and reduce its spread. However, if you are running a business that has to keep functioning, it’s essential to take every precaution to protect the people who are in your premises, including your employees, visitors, and members of the public.

And, if your business has been shut down, your employees and customers will want assurance that your premises are safe before they return and that they’ll stay safe while they’re inside the premises.

With no vaccine out in the market yet, most business owners and homeowners resort to improving hygiene by doing these as advised by the CDC:

Cleaning hands with soap often, for at least 20 seconds.

Using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.

Keeping the recommended 6 feet from people.

Cleaning frequently touched surfaces.

Covering cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throwing it in the trash.

Staying home when sick.
