No one believes that winter storms will damage their Bowling Green home, but it does happen. Paul Davis Restoration & Remodeling of Bowling Green KY has some advice for you to help protect your property from storm damage – we want you to be safe and sound this winter!
- Check outside your home for loose shingles, siding, and fence boards and repair all issues as soon as you can. These items can easily blow off in storms.
- Remove damaged parts of trees in your yard, especially those near structures. To make sure large limbs and branches are handled safely, hire a tree care professional.
- Clear debris from gutters and downspouts so your drainage system can perform its function. Downspouts should send water at least 5’ away from your home’s foundation. Adding a downspout extension is a simple fix for an area. Water draining under your home can cause mold, flooding, and can attract termites!
- Keep flashlights, camping lanterns, and/or headlamps in an easily accessible area in case of a power outage. Check all the batteries, too.
- Purchase an emergency supply of food and water. This will help sustain your family in the middle of a crippling storm.
Keep your home and family safe with these easy steps and sleep easier this winter. If you have any questions about further measures you can take, contact Paul Davis Restoration & Remodeling of Bowling Green KY today.
