3/19/2024 (Permalink)
Our local South Eugene and Florence team restores properties damaged by windstorms every year in and around Lane County. Preparing your home for a windstorm is essential to minimize potential damage and ensure safety for you and your property. Here are some steps you can take:
Secure Outdoor Items: Remove or secure outdoor furniture, decorations, and loose objects that could become projectiles in high winds.
Trim Trees and Branches: Prune overhanging branches and trim trees near your home to reduce the risk of falling limbs or trees damaging your property.
Reinforce Windows and Doors: Install storm shutters, reinforce windows with plywood, and check that doors have proper weatherstripping to prevent drafts and potential wind-driven rain.
Inspect Roofing: Ensure your roof is in good condition, replacing any missing or damaged shingles and securing loose ones to prevent wind-driven rain and debris from entering.
Secure Garage Doors: Reinforce garage doors or invest in a hurricane-resistant garage door to prevent wind from blowing them in or out.
Emergency Contacts: Have a list of emergency contacts, including utility companies and local emergency services, that are readily available.
Backup Power: Consider a backup generator to maintain essential power if your area is prone to extended power outages.
