Dangerous storms have been appearing in the forecast more and more lately. There is the old saying which goes, “April Showers will bring May flowers.” If that is true, May should be a month covered in flowers! April is not over yet, and storms do not only happen in April though, so you should still be fully prepared. As mentioned in our last Storm Damage blog, there are measures you can take to protect your home. You should always be prepared for storms to keep your family safe too. Learn more about that by reading our blog “How to prepare for Spring Weather.” 

Storms are very unpredictable, so being ready and taking precautions is necessary. What other precautions should you take to ensure the safety of your home and family? Here are a few our team at SERVPRO of East Greenville recommends:

1. Clean out your gutters. - A full gutter can hold water and create rust in the side of your roof's fascia board, which will lead to large damage to your home if not monitored.
2. Check for any hanging limbs near your home. - Falling limbs, depending on the size, can damage your windows, siding, and gutters.
3. Do you have any cracks in your foundation? - Water can slip through the smallest places. Check your foundation regularly for cracks or holes. Where there is a place for water to enter the crawlspace, there is a place for mold damages to occur in your crawl space.

As you check your home regularly and should you gather concerns, give our team at SERVPRO of East Greenville County. We will assist you as best we can with your concerns or mitigation needs. Taking all of these steps are the best way to protect what you work hard for every day.
