Flying Tree Branch Damages Apartment Home in Centre City?
5/17/2022 (Permalink)
Our Centre City Uptown team is a trusted leader in storm damage mitigation and restoration services. The strong Santa Ana winds and tropical storms that occur during the Pacific hurricane season can send tree limbs and patio furniture flying, causing property damage to residences and businesses day and night. Here is some information from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for preventing property damage from strong winds:
Trim or Remove Dead, Damaged, or Rotting Trees and Limbs
High winds can cause trees and branches to fall. Make sure any damaged trees on the property are trimmed or removed regularly. Your home should be at least a full-grown tree’s height away from the base of any tree, usually about 40 feet away.
Fortify Your Roof
Your roof is your first line of defense in a high wind event. Re-adhere any loose shingles and consider impact-resistant shingles when installing a roof. Install roof strappings to anchor the roof framing to the wall framings so the wind can’t lift your roof off your house.
Secure Fencing, Porches, Canopies, and Sheds
Have them inspected and make sure they are firmly attached and in sound structural condition. Secure any parts of fencing that appear weak or loose.
