In many cases, the aftermath of a storm is the worse than the storm itself, leaving behind broken glass, debris, tree damage, power outages and flooded rooms. These effects pose dangerous risks to you and your family if not dealt with quickly. To ease the risk of damage to your home, follow these tips for getting through a major storm.
- When heavy rains begin, turn off the power in your home, provided water levels have not reached the level of electrical outlets.
- Once the rain has abated, you will require a professional service to efficiently clean your home as water may have entered areas inside your home.
- Fallen trees are one of the most dangerous results of a storm. If you need to remove an entire tree, contact a qualified professional. Any broken ornamental trees can be broken into branches more easily.
- Replace any broken window panes and clean any intact glass from dirt carried by rain water.
- Bring out the leaf blower to clear away leaves and other debris.
