You can never be too careful when it comes to protecting your Nashville home or business. With Spring storms on the horizon, now is a good time to talk about some ways you can prevent damages to your property. 

What Is The Top Tip To Use In Avoiding Damage To My Nashville Location From Spring Weather?

The condition of your property always needs to be maintained and documented regularly, especially ahead of bad weather. Being prepared is the single most important thing for you to do to help keep your Hermitage/Donelson location safe from storm damages. 

• In order to avoid water damage from roof issues, your roof should be in the best shape and without any weaknesses. Make sure there aren’t any loosened or missing shingles that could allow water to leak through your roof and into your home or business. It is also important to inspect your ceilings for any discoloration that could also potentially signal water damage.
• Clean your gutters consistently throughout the year to prevent them from getting clogged. Rain gutters are designed to keep water away from your structure, so it is necessary to ensure the gutters are working properly. 
• High winds can cause debris to fly and cause damage. Look around your business for trees that have the potential to fall and threaten your property. If you see any trees that pose a threat, consider seeking assistance in order to help you eliminate them.

What Do I Do If My Nashville Property Suffers From Spring Storm Damage?

Here are some ways you can handle storm damage at your home or business. 

• First of all, you need to make sure that you identify any areas around your property that are not safe. For example, if a tree has become compromised you will want to have a professional arborist come and look at it right away to see if it needs to be removed. Keep people away from standing water that is in areas that have live electricity, as well. 
• Take pictures or video of the damage so you have a record for your insurance professionals.
