How Can Residents Prevent Extensive Storm Damage?

Residents can prevent extensive storm damage by taking a few precautionary steps. First, trimming trees and securing loose objects around the house can reduce the risk of damage from flying debris. 

Second, cleaning gutters and downspouts ensures water can flow away from the house, preventing leaks and flooding. Third, installing storm shutters or impact-resistant windows can protect against high winds and flying objects. Finally, having an emergency kit and a plan in place helps residents stay safe and minimize damage during a storm.

What Should You Do Immediately After Storm Damage To Your Roof?

If your roof is damaged by a storm, the first thing you should do is make sure everyone is safe. Then, take photos or videos of the damage for insurance purposes. Cover any holes or damaged areas with a waterproof tarp to prevent water from getting into your house. This is a temporary solution to protect your home from further damage.

Next, contact your insurance company to report the damage and start the claim process. Finally, hire a professional roofing contractor who is experienced in storm damage repairs to inspect and fix your roof properly.
