Protecting Your Roof From a Storm

2/1/2018 (Permalink)

Although Southern California isn't the most common place for torrential rains, we do have the occasional storm that brings in high winds and heavy rains. Many people are not prepared for these storms and are left with roof damage.

Here are some tips at protecting your roof from a potential storm!

1. Make sure your doors and windows are shut and secured. If a door is open or a window is broken during a storm, airflow can suddenly change the pressure inside the home causing the roof to act as a parachute. 

2. If you know a storm is coming, or in SoCal if you are warned about a flash flood, take inventory of your home by taking pictures and accounting for what could be loss. You will want to be prepared before contacting your insurance company.

3.Trim your trees! If tree branches are close to your home, the heavy winds can make them act as a whip and bring damage to your home and roof. If winds are high enough they can also cause branches to break and fall onto your home.
