Protect Your Roof During a Hurricane

6/21/2021 (Permalink)

Inspect your roof. Consider hurricane straps to ensure your roof is bolted to the rest of your house. And inspect your roof tiles or shingles to make sure they are secure. Use roofing cement to fix any loose tiles to prevent them from becoming lethal projectiles during a storm and damaging the underlying roofing material. Seal any areas where wires enter the home, minimizing the chance of water damage during heavy wind and rain.

Protect your roof by trimming your trees. Broken limbs could land on your (or your neighbor’s) roof/house or become missiles that can break windows during a storm causing water damage inside your home.
