Monsoon Season

Even though monsoon season is over a month away you should start preparing now. Why? The more you prepare the less stress you have would be the easiest answer. There is so much to get done inside and outside of the house.

First, we will talk about everything you can/should get done outside. The most obvious would be a roof inspection. Even if you just replaced your roof last year there can still be hazards that can damage your roof/home. If tree branches are stuck on top of your roof that can affect the natural flow of water your roof is designed to make. That then can cause leaks because water is “standing” causing deuteration. Leaky roofs can mean you might have to call us. When it comes to your roof you would rather be safe than sorry.

Next, what can you do on the inside? You should always be prepared for the power going out. How? By having bottled water, packaged/canned food that does not need to be cooked to eat, sand bags (to keep the water out), and a safety plan you will be better prepared. This is a very brief list but if you would like more information you can visit: http://www.monsoonsafety.org/safety-prep/

Lastly, have a restoration company in mind if water/fire were to damage your home. Make sure you have their phone number written down and/or saved into your phone. Being prepared can save you money and from feeling stressed.
