It is no secret that the Greater Charlotte area experiences intense wind and rain storms. This kind of weather can cause serious storm damage to homes and businesses. These storms can cause problems such as mold growth, excess water, and sewer backup. If left untreated, these issues can get much worse.
Mission Restorations aids property owners in keeping their homes and businesses protected against toxins and harmful bacteria that grow with storm and water damage.
How to Protect Your Home or Business
Even the smallest storm can cause tens of thousands of dollars in repairs. But there are many things you can do to help shield your property from possible damages. Here are some tips from the professionals:
- Remove loose branches and twigs, debris, and dead grass from around your property. Clear drains, downspouts, and gutters so that water can flow away from your home.
- Secure large outdoor items such as lawn chairs, trash cans, and umbrellas. These can cause damage and injury in a windy storm. Bring smaller objects inside.
- Have a battery-powered NOAA radio. This will help keep you updated on the storm, even when power is lost.
- Wait to take a shower, wash dishes, or do laundry until the storm passes. Plumbing can conduct electricity when lightning strikes.
- Do not use electronics with cords that plug into walls. Electricity from lightning can move through electrical circuits.
- Close window shutters or curtains and secure the outside doors.
