5 Ways To Reinforce Your House And Avoid Damages From Wind And Hailstorms

12/29/2017

Storm gales and hailstorms usually happen at times that homeowners are not prepared. Hail has the propensity to cause major destruction to your roof, windows, and doors. But you can prevent or limit the damage if you have done some regular maintenance. There are ways to keep the havoc to a minimum. Take a look at the preventive tips below:
Secure Windows and Doors

If winds are looking for an opening to enter a house, it would be the door or window. As soon as strong storm winds are able to penetrate inside, this could potentially bring damage inside your home. You can block the entryway by installing shutters on your glass doors and windows. You can also consider replacing your windows with impact-rated doors and windows as a way to protect your home interior from total destruction.

Make Your Roof Stronger

One of the most common structural destructions due to wind and hail storms is roofing damage. Check the condition of your roof regularly. Make sure the roofing materials you choose can withstand severe storms. If your shingles are made of wood, see to it that they are not damaged. You may also replace the material with asphalt shingles or class 4 metal, which are tough and hardwearing materials.

Protect the Ridge Vents Against High Storms

If you use substandard ridge vents, this can easily make water enter your property. Once the water starts to penetrate the structure, it passes through your ceiling, down to your interior. If you think your vents need replacement, consider installing new ones that are water-resistant.

Maintain Shrubbery and Trees

If you have trees in your yard, a lot of branches may fall in in the event of a storm. Always maintain shrubbery and trees especially the ones near your house. Neglecting maintenance can cause damage as falling branches wreck your property.

Do Not Forget Exterior Valuables

During a storm, you cannot keep all your things inside your home. There are pieces of lawn and garden furniture, even your car. Severely strong winds could be capable of blowing outdoor objects toward your home. Secure these items from flying all over the place during a storm.

By following the tips mentioned above, you may be able to weather the wind and hail storms. Regular maintenance and preparation can help prevent damages and loss to your home.

As you are securing your home from heavy storms, do you have your insurance ready as well?  At Brad Spurgeon Insurance Agency Inc., we put our clients first by offering them policies that they can afford.

I can see how reinforcing your house windows in preparation for extreme weather elements can prolong its lifespan. My friend is thinking about giving his home a big renovation to impress his relatives. I'll be sure to pitch this idea to him when we meet again!
