Storm Season - Damage Prevention Tips for the North Fork

5/18/2018 (Permalink)

Rain and storms on the east end's North Fork can be damaging.

We are now entering storm and hurricane season, we all need to take precautions to protect our homes, businesses and properties.  Whether it's a hurricane, tornado, thunderstorms or another form of extreme weather, your home could experience significant water damage, flooding or destruction to both interior and exterior portions of the structure and infrastructure.  Nevertheless, we can take precautions to minimize the potential damage as these storms could cause significant losses to your property. 

Tip #1:  Inspect your garage doors, windows, roof and trees surrounding the building.  Once you identify these areas, you can take measures to help reinforce them which will most likely reduce the damage.  Anchor loose connections, repair any existing damage. 

Tip #2:  Trim back any loose branches and limbs that pose a threat.  

Tip #3:  Remove and store or anchor any loose unsecured items that may become airborne in high winds.  

While taking these precautions does not guarantee your home or business won't endure some storm & water damage, they can help reduce the degree of damage.
