Servpro Gaithersburg Storm Damage Prevention Including Silver Spring 20851

A flooded home is often due to natural occurrences including hurricanes, hail storms, and tornados. Most of these are experienced during the summer time season and may cause devastating damages to houses and infrastructure. Whereas our mother earth is unpredictable, there are a few techniques you can use to prevent storm damage.

Steer clear of flooded basement

1. Trimming surrounding shrubery

Keeping all tree branches outside the roof is certainly one sure means of avoiding roof damage. Friction from your leaning branch as well as the rooftop can cause holes in the case of a wind surge. It's also good to cut any weak branches that could go away.

   

2. Keep the roof totally free of stagnant water

If it rains, water should certainly run-down the cover with the gutters. If doesn't necessarily, the river stagnates and slowly begins to weaken the top. Removing fallen leaves from the water pipes will save a house owner lots of money doing roof repairs.

3. Keeping a nicely ventilated attic

During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and the only thing saving the top from collapsing will be the heat emanating from the attic. If it evaporation doesn't happen, there is an imminent risk of water getting yourself into your property from the shingles. To preclude this from happening, you need to have a very skilled professional come check the ventilation inside your attic before the storm shows its head.

4. Make water-tight all openings

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

5. Protecting electricity and phone wires

It is a common occurrence for certain utilities such as electricity being interrupted when storms set in. This may be because of winds weighing documented on tree branches and entangling all of them with electricity or telephone lines. In order to avoid this, always trim tree branches which are growing towards utility supply lines. Don't forget to cut down weak trees which are swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.

Each time a storm occurs along with your home remains intact due to above techniques, the next step is to gain access to the situation around your house. Trees will be the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of such natural occurrences.

Restoration after water damage

1. Think before acting!

Do not start lowering the trees in panic even though you imagine they might slip later. As time passes, you'll know which ones must go.

2. Make believe experts

Timber can be a valuable commodity and there will always emerge some fellows claiming being tree experts. These 'experts' will request you to give them permission to reduce the trees and carry them for research. Do not be fooled by them.

3. Caring for the remainder trees

As a final point, employ the services of a professional tree professional. He/she will disclose how to tend to your surviving trees and protect them in the foreseeable future from storm related damage.
