Wind is a commonly overlooked aspect of severe weather. Unfortunately, its a force that will not be ignored and packs a wallop to the weak point of your home's structure. Listed below are a few ways to prevent the damaging effects of when the wind blows.

1) Secure the garage door. Strong winds have the potential to do massive damages to your garage. Have an inspection done to test the durability of your door in case a storm approaches. Its always better to be prepared before the worst happens.

2) Shutter the windows. One of the most vulnerable areas to high winds  are sliding doors and windows. Consider getting storm proof shutters or aluminum covers.

3) Secure shingles and anchor any items that can potentially become flying projectiles during high winds.

Wind may not be at the front of the line when we think of stormy weather, but the resulting damages can remain with you for a lifetime. Stay safe and call SERVPRO.
