Hurricane season, which begins this June, goes together with wind damage. Every year, the United States experiences billions of dollars in damage from strong winds from localized storms, even in areas where hurricanes don’t occur. Below are a few helpful tips for homeowners in Centerville to minimize the damage caused by wind:
- Look around for items that can come loose or even blow away in high winds and make sure they are secured. This includes patio furniture, trash cans, tools, toys, and portable grills.
- Replace any broken fence boards and make sure gates are securely closed.
- Check your trees for unhealthy branches or overhanging the house and have those branches removed.
- Note any loose siding, shutters, and shingles and have them fixed quickly.
- Inspect your garage door and make sure it’s sound and in good condition.
