Identify any potential issues with your roof
When you are preparing for hurricane season, the first thing you should do is to evaluate its current condition. For the most accurate picture, you should ask your local roofer for a professional roof inspection. A professional will be able to properly identify any potential issues with your roof and where your roof is most vulnerable.
Repair any minor issues
If issues like missing shingles, tiles or flashing that needs repairs is identified during the inspection, it would be best to get these fixed before hurricane season begins. The conditions of heavy storms, rain and hurricanes will potentially make these issues worse and allow water to seep through and cause the need for larger more costly repairs.
Trim Your Trees
A fallen tree during a hurricane can come crashing into your roof and cause costly damage. Impact damages can sometimes require full roof replacement and you don’t want to have to pay for a new roof every time there is a storm. Avoid this issue by trimming your tree and safely removing any dead or decaying trees from your yard. Secure Potential Risks
During the high winds of a severe storm, just about anything can be picked up and thrown at your roof by mother nature. That includes your lawn furniture and potted plants. Make sure your outdoor possessions are just as secure as your indoor possessions. If your yard furniture can’t be tied down, move it indoors out of the way of the storm.
Make Sure You’re Insured
Make sure your insurance plan covers storm damage, and that you know what to do in the event you need to use that coverage. Insurance can help you cover the cost of any repairs your roof may need in the aftermath of a natural disaster. A knowledgeable roofer also may be able to help guide you through the insurance process.
