The Continental Quarterly – Volume 5
This summer was a remarkably wet one in the Midwest, with strong storms and record breaking rainfall documented across the nation. Illinois had the most June rainfall on record since 1895. Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Missouri all had their second wettest June and July in 120 years. Many of our CRES employees experienced storm damage on their properties from falling limbs, hail and flooding. We have compiled a few tips to help you be proactive in protecting your home.
> Trim Your Trees:
Any branches that are growing close to or hanging over your home need to be trimmed to prevent damage to your siding and/or roof during a storm.
> Clean Your Downspouts and Gutters:
Repair any leaks, clean your gutters regularly and inspect your downspouts to ensure water is directed away from your house’s foundation.
> Elevate HVAC Systems and Appliances:
To avoid damage to household appliances in flood prone areas, make sure to set your air conditioning unit, furnace, washer and dryer above the level where water could potentially reach. Cinderblocks or a wood platform are easy ways to protect them from rising water.
> Get Flood Insurance for an Extra Financial Protective Measure
