Hurricane
season has officially begun, and homeowners in Coastal areas such as Long
Island can be at a high-risk for storm damage.
In order to protect themselves, homeowners should consider taking action
before a hurricane threatens to hit the area, keeping their home and family
safe in the event of an emergency.
To protect homes and vehicles from potential storm damage, homeowners should begin preparing their homes by making sure that their rain gutters and exterior drains are free of debris to avoid potential water backups. Roof sheathing should also be checked to make sure that it could withstand heavy winds.
Exterior furniture or art that could act as a dangerous projectile should also be moved inside or secured with cables or netting.
In the yard, homeowners should be sure that trees and other outdoor landscaping are trimmed so that there are no branches hanging over the home or vehicle that could fall and cause severe damage or even personal injury.
Trees or branches that fall can create a great deal of damage to your property, but an inspection by an arborist can help identify unhealthy tree branches and remove them.
