Extreme weather can cause severe damage to properties. Property managers are responsible for the housing’s safety and condition.
One of your leading TPO membrane roofing companies, Ridgeline Construction Roofing & Exteriors, shares storm damage prevention tips for property managers and owner-operators.
Document the Condition of the Property Before the Storm
Before the storm arrives, make sure to snap a photo and take note of the condition of your property. You can then compare the state of the dwelling before and after the bad weather. Take photos of the roof, siding, windows, gutters, downspouts and screens. They will be helpful in case you may need to file an insurance claim for storm damage.
Check the Gutters
Debris can settle in the gutters and cause clogging. Clogged gutters can damage fascia boards, leading to leaks within the house and ceiling and wall deterioration. See that the gutters are clean before the storm comes.
Inspect the Roof
Have your roof professionally inspected before the storm season. Your roof goes through a lot, especially during extreme weather. Ridgeline Construction Roofing & Exteriors is one of the best waterproof roof coating companies in the area. We offer waterproof roof coatings that are effective, energy-efficient and can improve protection.
Observe Possible Debris
Check if there are debris that can become a threat to your property. Look for nearby trees that may fall and get in touch with a local tree removal company to determine possible threats and prevent damage.
Protect Personal Property
Personal properties left outdoors during a storm can get serious damage. Harsh winds can carry this debris that can slam into the property and damage the dwelling. They can also injure individuals and cause damage to vehicles. Patio furniture, decor, garbage bins and other outdoor items must be brought inside before the storm.
Check Your Yard’s Drainage
Have local landscaping experts inspect your yard’s drainage for possible issues that may cause flooding. Heavy rains often lead to flooding in the basement and ground-level floors.
