steps to help prevent wind damage

8/24/2021 (Permalink)

Fix what's broken

Maintain your home and fix things like loose fence boards or peeling roof shingles, to prevent even further, more costly damage in the event of a windstorm. The cost of repairs is sure to be less expensive than fixing damage after the storm.

If you have too little time before a storm, check if anything needs repairing and try to do a few temporary fixes to prevent damaged parts breaking off and flying around.

Secure outdoor items

Loose items like patio furniture, BBQs, garbage/recycling/compost bins and sports equipment can become dangerous missiles in a wind gust.

Before a storm, walk around your property—bring items inside or tie them down so they won’t blow around. Park your car away from trees, streetlamps and power lines. If possible, park in a garage. And don’t forget to bring your pets indoors.
