Window replacement after a storm
After a storm hits, your home may be in rough shape. Whether it’s a winter blizzard or sudden thunderstorm, how do you deal with the fallout? In this blog we’ll guide you through with some brilliant tips for storm cleanup. Keep your family safe!
Stop Any Flooding
After heavy downpours it’s extremely common for basements and lower floors to be swamped with water. First, turn out the power so you don’t electrify the standing water. Then remove the water slowly. Go too fast and you could risk further damage. Wet basements will eventually dry out, but you might want to assess what is worth keeping in it afterwards. Also, be sure to watch out for any mud.
Shovel Away Snow
Snow is a big problem in winter time. Clear out driveways and walkways so they no longer pose a hazard. Especially in places with higher elevations, more snow is bound to fall. If it’s cold enough as much as ten inches of snow can fall.
Get Rid of Ice Dams
Ice also builds up during snowstorms in winter. Clear these ice dams, where ice builds up, off your roof and off the sides of your house before it wreaks havoc on the structural integrity of your home. Ice dams can often be hidden under snow, so move with caution.
Clear Up Broken Glass
In any kind of storm, glass can easily shatter. Try to fix the broken glass, if you can, but either way it’s much better simply to remove broken glass and let professionals replace windows or doors, or anywhere else the glass shattered from.
Remove damaged or fallen trees
Trees can be easily knocked down by storms and complicate storm cleanup. Downed trees come about from high winds, heavy rains, or heavier snow. You’ll want to assess the damage first. Smaller trees you might be able to handle yourself, but for larger trees, it’s best to leave them alone until you can call for professional assistance.
