Storms are inevitable and can cause a lot of damage depending on the severity. When the forecast is calling for a thunderstorm or even heavy rain, here are some things you should do to make sure you are protected from potential damage. The first thing is to go down to the lowest point of your home and make sure there are no cracks or crevices where water could come in. Next thing you should do is check your sump pump if you have one to make sure it is working properly. We also recommend that you and your family in the home come up with a plan to get to safety if the weather gets bad enough as well as know where all of the shutoffs are just in case something were to happen. Those simple tasks can protect you and your family from any damage the storm may cause.
