Storm season is approaching, is your home prepared? Read up on some tips we at SERVPRO of Fall River recommend to make sure you are storm ready:

  • Before storm season, be sure to check the seals around all windows and doors, even the ones in your attic, basement, and garage. Checking your seals is a smart thing to do every season change.
  • One of the most imperative steps to stormproof your home is securing and sealing your roof. Inspecting your roof to make sure all the tiles or shingles are secure. Look for any cracks or missing pieces. Then replace any missing shingles or tiles and seal any cracks you find. 
  • If your home has cables or furnaces that are attached to the exterior make sure the areas of connection are securely sealed. You can easily seal the holes with caulk. 
  • If a storm is coming removing items like patio furniture, potted plants, and even trampolines can be swept up by strong winds and damage your siding or windows.
  • Before storm season hits, take time to analyze your home insurance policy to ensure coverage. You’ll want to be sure the policy covers the full cost of rebuilding your home if it is lost in a storm. 

We can’t stop disasters from happening, but we can certainly be prepared. Take steps today to plan for how you will weather a storm. And remember, SERVPRO of Fall River is always Here to Help.
