Spring is notorious for unpredictable, sometimes tumultuous weather.

Before we know it winter will be making its annual departure and sweet, sweet spring will be on its way. The snow will have melted, the ice will have thawed, temperatures will finally be on the rise, the birds will start singing again…and those dreaded spring storms will start brewing. 

Most of us love the freshness of a new season, but along with warmer temperatures and much needed sunshine, spring is notorious for unpredictable, sometimes tumultuous weather.

Whether it be heavy rain, high winds and tornadoes, flooding, or lighting, no one wants to be caught off guard and unprepared when a spring storm hits your house. The team at SERVPRO of Henry and Randolph Counties knows that foresight can be key when it comes to preventing damage to your home, and they want you to be able to do just that.

Following these SMALL steps, can keep you from assessing BIG damage:

1. Make sure all winter debris have been removed from gutters, drains, and downspouts.
2. If your home has a sump pump, make sure it is in good working order and is draining as it should.
3. Trim back or cut all dead trees and branches to prevent snapping and falling during high winds.
4. If you live in an area that is prone to power outages, secure a home emergency kit and store it in a safe place that is easy to reach.
