3 Easy Ways To Weatherproof Your Home

Russell Dawson July 23, 2020 House Plans Leave a Comment

Be it tropical storms, intense wind speeds or snow, every home will face challenges from Mother Nature over the course of its life. While completely protecting your home from all forms of weather damage may not be possible for most, there are a few easy ways any homeowner can maintain a weatherproofed home.

1. Keep Gutters Clear and Efficient

If you experience a regular amount of rainfall in your area, having properly designed rain gutters Shoreline around your roof is imperative in preventing water damage. Regular maintenance of your gutters is also important, as debris can pile up easily and prevent the flow of water away from your home. Hiring a professional to clean or improve your gutter system is a quick way to avoid unnecessary damage and ensure you have the best water flow system installed for your home.

2. Have Branches Trimmed 

If you have trees in your yard, it may save you a lot of time and money to have any problematic branches trimmed before disaster strikes. Sharp branches can damage the side of your home, while larger and more unstable branches may pose a risk of falling and smashing parts of your property during a storm. Having a tree service company take care of any branches posing a risk to your home may be expensive now, but is worth it in the long run.

3. Check the Seal on Doors and Windows

Take a walk around your home, checking every door and window along the way for a complete seal. Not only will a complete seal prevent leaks during a storm, but it can also improve the air conditioning in your home. During winter months, strong winds can easily make it through windows and under doors if the seal is not hardy enough, causing you to raise your heating much higher than it needs to be to keep a comfortable temperature. Use caulk and weatherstripping to fix incomplete seals around your home and improve living conditions in a matter of hours.

These are some of the quickest ways to keep your home safe from damage. With a little time and investment in your home’s future, you can ensure that when disaster strikes, you will be prepared.
