How To Prepare For Summer Flash Storms

8/7/2018 (Permalink)

Picture this: One minute you’re tending to the garden outside, the windows are open in the house, and everything seems fantastic. The next minute, a flash storm is clouding the sky and the rain begins to unload ferociously onto your street -- what do you do? For many of us on Long Island, we’ve experienced the wrath of a flash storm -- and unfortunately, maybe the damage as well. With that in mind, knowing how you can prepare for something like this is extremely important!  If you know ahead of time what you need and how WE can help, should something occur that is more than anticipated, it can save you from expending a lot of time and energy and from experiencing some heartache.

Don’t Leave Things Opened

Have you ever gone outside the morning after a storm only to realize you left your car window open? It’s certainly happened to the best of us -- but it can be prevented! Whether it’s your car or your home, create a habit to double check that you haven’t left things open; especially if the inside can become damaged. In a storm, a closed and sealed window can be the difference between no damage and endless cleaning for days after.

Prepare Your Home

Is your home’s area known for flooding or pooling water? If so, make sure you take the necessary measures to prevent it from happening during the next storm. Keep sandbags and other items close by so that during the next storm, you’re ready with whatever you need in order to prevent damage from occurring when you need it least.
