Our local Centre City/Uptown team is trained and certified to restore storm damage quickly and efficiently. Severe thunderstorms are unpredictable and can cause extensive damage to homes in a short amount of time. These storms often bring high winds, heavy rain, and hail, each presenting unique challenges.

To protect your home, securing outdoor furniture and any loose items that could become dangerous projectiles in strong winds is essential. Regularly trimming trees and shrubs is another vital step, as overgrown branches can break off and damage your home. Inspecting your roof is crucial—look for weak spots or loose shingles that could be torn off during a storm, exposing your home to water damage.

Storm shutters are a worthwhile investment to protect your windows, particularly vulnerable during severe weather. It’s also essential to ensure that your home’s drainage system is clear and functioning correctly as clogged gutters can cause water to pool and potentially lead to flooding.

Additionally, consider investing in a backup generator to keep essential systems running in case of a power outage. By taking these precautions, you can minimize the risk of damage from severe thunderstorms and protect your home and your family from the dangers posed by these intense weather events.
