Clear Debris
A good way to start getting your roof ready for a potential natural disaster is to clear any debris that might be clogging the gutters or causing water to back up. This can include leaves, branches, and other trash.
If you have a chimney, make sure to clear the chimney cap and flue off any debris. You also want to check the roof itself for any damage or missing shingles. And it's a good idea to trim any overhanging trees or branches that could damage the roof during a storm.
If you notice any damage, don't wait until a storm hits to get it fixed. Repairing your roof before a storm hits is one of the best ways to protect your home from damage.
Inspect the Gutters
So before a big storm hits, it's important to do a quick gutters inspection. Make sure they're free of debris and that the downspouts are clear. If there are any obstructions, fix them right away. And remember to keep your gutters clean year-round. This is something you can easily do yourself, and it only takes a few minutes. Just make sure you have a ladder that's tall enough to reach the roofline.
