3
(1) Inspect Your Roof

• Hurricane season officially begins on June, but
  if you havent had your roof inspected recently,
  you might want to book your appointment now. The
  longer you wait, the more likely it is that any
  damage that has already been done will go
  undetected until its too late and you get hit by
  more than just high winds and rain. If youre not
  quite sure how to prepare your roofing system for
  hurricane season, follow these five steps to make
  sure its ready when you need it most.

Check to make sure the shingles are installed
correctly and of any defects. Make sure the
flashing around your chimney is in good
condition. Look for any signs that water has
leaked through your roof and make sure its not
coming. Check your gutters if theyre clean and
drain properly, you can probably avoid a lot of
problems with ice dams this winter. Inspect your
attic to make sure its well insulated, there
arent any holes or gaps where heat could
escape, Get a roofing company in Beaufort SC to

(3) Look for Damage Around Chimneys, Vents, and
Skylights

• Checking your roof is the first step to knowing
  if your home or business is ready for hurricane
  season. Here are five easy ways to check
• a) Look at your gutters and downspouts. They
  should be complete with debris, which could clog
  them and allow water to pool on your roof instead
  of draining away.
• b) Take a walk around the outside of your
  property, looking up at the roof from various
  angles, including ground level, and standing on
  the top step of a staircase leading up to the
  front door.
• c) Examine all entry points where rainwater can
  get into your house, including windows, doors,
  vents, skylights, and plumbing stacks, and check
  that these are complete with cracks. If you live
  in a coastal area, also make sure there are no
  gaps between the wall and the foundation.
• d) Check that any pipes going through your roof
  have gaskets in place to prevent leaks.
• e) Finally, dont forget to take an inventory of
  whats stored under your roof (such as electrical
  wiring), which might need special protection
  during a storm event with high winds

4) Trim Trees and Shrubs Near Your Home

• To trim trees and shrubs, follow these tips
• a) Trim trees at least some feet away from the
  house. This will help ensure that they dont
  damage your roof if they fall in a storm.
• b) Take down any low-hanging branches that could
  damage the roof or block gutters.
• c) Trim bushes to maintain clearance around the
  home. This will prevent them from getting knocked
  over by high winds, which can cause major
  property damage like cracked windows and broken
  siding.
• d) Clean out gutters before leaves start falling.
  This can help prevent clogs and overflowing
  during storms, which can lead to flooding inside
  the home. Keeping gutters clear of debris is also
  important because it will reduce the risk of
  overflow when rain falls.
• e) Put up hurricane shutters on the outside of
  all first-floor windows (basement windows should
  be protected too). Youll need someone with

• f) If you have an older home, consider replacing
  shingles or siding so that theyre sturdier than
  those old materials youve been using all along.

(5) Consider Hurricane Straps or Clips

• Roofing companies in Beaufort SC can help you
  prepare your roof for hurricane season. One
  important step is to make sure the roofing system
  is in good shape. A well-maintained roof will
  allow for better protection from high winds, and
  damage may be less severe. The best time to
  address any minor issues with the roofing system
  is now, as its much easier to fix small problems
  before they become big ones! Another important
  tip is to have a plan of what to do if disaster
  strikes. For example, its a good idea to have a
  backup generator that can power essential
  appliances, such as refrigerators and freezers,
  in the event of a power outage.
