1. Gutters and Downspouts – to help prevent roof leaking and basement flooding make sure that these are clear of debris so that water can flow without obstruction
2. Sump Pumps – to prevent basement flooding and interior home damage, have your sump pump checked before heavy rain occurs
3. Roofing and Shingles – have these evaluated before summer storms occur to help prevent roof leaks and interior damage
4. Standby Generators – are helpful so that for example your sump pump can continue to work during a power outage and electricity and large appliances can continue to run, which can help prevent damage from occurring at your property
5. Landscaping – strong winds can cause trees to fall and branches to break, so it is important to have your landscaping evaluated to protect your property
