Here in central North Carolina we always need to be vigilant protecting ourselves and our homes against storm damage. Of course, hurricanes and tornadoes generate exceptionally destructive winds that can turn buildings into piles of rubble. But high winds can happen anywhere, and strike during many types of storms. We live in an area that is susceptible to hurricanes, tornadoes, hail, and severe thunderstorms. High winds can topple trees and limbs onto our homes, hurl debris through windows, rip siding and roofs off homes. Triangle Reconstruction can help homeowners before a storm arrives with preventive improvements and after a storm has passed with damage repairs.
Preventative Measures – Non Structural
- Remove any weakened trees or branches that could fall on your home
- Repair any loose or damaged boards, siding, bricks, etc. on your home or storage shed
- Board up any doors or windows
- Remove any objects from in front of your windows (inside and outside)
- Put outdoor furniture, grills or any other unsecured personal items inside
- Turn off any propane tanks connected to your home
- Move boats out of driveway or yard to a more secure area
