Tips for Preventing Wind Damage
Michigan residents know a thing or two about severe weather, and sometimes there is little advanced warning of a severe weather event. One part of the home that can be damaged in a severe storm is the garage door. When high-wind hammers the garage door it can cause it to buckle and become damaged. SERVPRO® of St. Clair Shores responds to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in the Roseville area, and our team of highly trained technicians will work quickly and efficiently to mitigate the damage.
Here are some tips from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to protect your home from wind damage:
- Inspect your garage door to make sure it can withstand strong winds and have reinforcing supports installed if necessary.
- Cover doors and windows to prevent broken glass and damage from flying debris. Consider installing storm windows.
- Inspect your roof and make sure that at least six nails or staples hold down each shingle beneath the edges of the overlapping shingles. Install a waterproof underlayment under the shingles to prevent water from entering the structure in the event the wind blows the shingles off the roof.
- Remove trees too close to the home.
- Anchor potential projectiles like furniture, grills, and small objects.
