Identifying Damage After a Storm or Weather Event

Storms, hurricanes, blizzards, and other weather events can cause significant damage to your business’ roof and structural integrity, expose it to the elements, make it non-functional, or even destroy it completely.

Storms and extreme weather can cause damage like:

• Hail: Large hailstones can make dents and cracks in your roof and damage external pipes and outdoor furniture
• Wind damage: Strong gusts of wind blowing at high speed can tear apart your roof and housing, rip apart fixtures, and leave it open to sustaining additional water damage
• Debris impact: Extreme weather can knock over trees or telephone poles, and fall on your office, facility, vehicles, or outdoor equipment, severely damaging them or even destroying them entirely
• Water damage: Heavy downpours from storms can flood your property from the outside, damage the foundation, tear apart walls and ceilings, and wear down your floors when it slips through the cracks in your roof

Effective Strategies to Prevent Weather Damage

The best thing you can do to recover from weather damage is take preventative measures before they happen. 

Taking just a few practical measures minimizes the harm storms and weather damage does to your business, like:

• Trimming trees and dead wood around your property
• Securing any outdoor assets or equipment like furniture, tables, and chairs
• Having your gutters cleaned, and inspecting your property for drainage problems where water can damage the foundation
• Having your roof inspected periodically: roofs that are over 15 years old can deteriorate or even collapse in a bad storm. Check for any leaks or cracks
• Installing impact-resistant windows: having windows that are resistant to hurricanes or strong gusts of wind is particularly important if your business is located in a coastal area or tornado-prone region. Board up any windows if a storm is imminent

When it comes to storm restoration, the best plan of action is thinking ahead. When push comes to shove though, you can’t predict the future and there’s only so much you can prepare for. If your business is damaged by storms or severe weather, the next best course of action is to find a storm damage repair service near you.
