WATER DAMAGE REPAIR Including Alpharetta 30022

A flooded house is generally caused by natural occurrences such as hail storms, hurricanes and tornados. Many of these happen in the summertime season and may cause devastating damages to property and infrastructure. Whereas weather is unpredictable, there are a few techniques one can use to stop storm damage.

Ways to avoid basement flooding

1. Pruning the trees

Keeping all tree branches away from the roof is one sure means of avoiding roof damage. Friction from a leaning branch along with the rooftop can cause holes in case of a wind surge. It is usually best to cut any weak branches that could disappear.

   

2. Keep the cover clear of stagnant water

If it rains, water should really run down the rooftop through the gutters. If doesn't necessarily, water stagnates and slowly actually starts to weaken the rooftop. Removing fallen leaves in the water pipes preserves your house owner big money doing roof repairs.

3. Maintain a properly ventilated attic

During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and one and only thing saving the top from collapsing is the heat emanating from your attic. If this evaporation does not occur, it comes with an imminent risk of water getting into your home from the shingles. To stop this from happening, make sure you use a skilled professional come look at the ventilation in your attic before the storm takes hold.

4. Make water-tight all openings

Water from storms will get into your home through many openings including the chimneys and skylights. Sealants who have decayed have to be repaired with silicone or tar to avoid water leakages. Window and door sealants may also let water in because they weaken with time.

5. Monitoring electricity cables

This is a common occurrence for several utilities such as electricity to become interrupted when storms set in. This may be as a result of winds weighing documented on tree branches and entangling them with electricity or telephone lines. To avoid this, always trim tree branches that seem to be growing towards utility supply lines. Remember to minimize weak trees which are swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.

Every time a storm occurs as well as your home remains intact because of the above techniques, the time has come to get into the problem around your home. Trees are the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of such natural occurrences.

Restoration after damage

1. Avoid panicking

Don't start lowering the trees in panic because you think that they could drop later. Over time, you will know those that must go.

2. Fake experts

Timber is really a valuable commodity and there'll always emerge some fellows claiming to become tree experts. These 'experts' will ask you to give them permission to minimize the trees and carry them away for research. Don't be fooled by them.

3. Looking after the residual trees

As a final point, employ the expertise of an experienced tree professional. He/she will disclose how to tend to your surviving trees and protect them in the future from storm caused damage.
