Hurricane Preparation - Underappreciated Tasks To Ready Your Home
With hurricane season approaching and encroaching into an earlier starting time in recent years, preparation is key so that homeowners in South Florida are not scrambling last minute. A healthy home maintenance routine will make hurricane preparation lighter and less stressful. Little known or underappreciated ways to strengthen your home’s defense are:
1. Declutter Drains and Gutters:
With higher levels of wind knocking more vegetation and debris around and higher levels of rain, starting the season with clear gutters is an excellent way to prevent build-up which can backflow and increase chances of leaks, damage to gutter systems, and damage to property below gutters and eavestroughs. Laurel Oak Services, LLC is experienced at removing debris, branches, leaves and more from your gutters. Request an estimate to get this difficult but essential hurricane preparedness task out of your way.
2. Bring in Outside Furniture:
With less objects around, there is simply less chance of losing outside furniture or worse, having that furniture damage your home or the homes of others around.
3. Hurricane Shutters or Impact Windows:
No one can control what will get picked up in a hurricane or where it will arrive as the menacing winds choose its final destination. However, using shutters or investing in impact-windows really reduces the need to fear for window property damage.
Remember, the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season is May 15-November 30.
