Well… looks like the fall storm season decided to say hello a little early! 🌧️🌧️
To help out – we’ve got some quick DIY tips to help secure your home when Mother Nature gets angry! ⛈️
Living on Cape Cod means being prepared when strong winds, heavy rain and coastal storms move in. A few simple projects around your home can help reduce the risk of damage.
• Clean gutters and downspouts so heavy rain can drain away from your foundation.
• Check your roof and siding for loose shingles, flashing or panels.
• Secure outdoor furniture, grills and decorations or bring them inside.
• Check doors and windows and replace worn weatherstripping.
• Clear storm drains and yard drains of leaves and debris.
• Test your sump pump and make sure you have a backup plan for power outages.
• Know where your water, gas and electrical shutoffs are in case of an emergency.
