What Are Some Immediate Steps You Should Take After Storm Damage To Your Tiffin Property?

3/9/2022 (Permalink)

Stormy weather is to be expected this time of year in Tiffin, and any smart home or business owner knows it’s best to be prepared. This doesn’t only involve what you do before the storm comes, however - it also means having everything in place for the necessary repairs and cleanup projects you may have to do after storm damage. Issues such as power losses, debris, and standing water can create challenges after the storm has moved on and the safety of your home and loved ones can be affected. 

What Are The Most Important Things To Keep In Mind After Storm Damage At My Tiffin Location?

First things first. The most important thing to manage is safety as you take the necessary steps to begin the cleanup process. 

• Safety Measures. There may be a lot of debris that you will need to manage. Make sure to never operate machinery used in these areas while you are on your own, and wear protective eye- and head-gear while you are operating such machinery (such as chainsaws and chippers, for example). Take note of anyone who may be in the vicinity and be aware of your surroundings while you are operating such machinery and tools. If you have even the slightest uncertainty about clearing storm damage, wait for professional assistance. 
• More Safety Measures. If you have experienced flooding and there is standing water in your location, keep people clear of this area. If it can be done safely, electricity in that part of the home should be shut off, but be sure NEVER to walk through standing water when electricity is engaged. Get standing water removed as soon as possible to avoid contamination and mold. Professional cleanup companies can be onsite right away to handle damage after storms. 
• Structure Assessment. The overall safety of your structures should be professionally assessed if you have experienced storm damage. These professionals will check power sources, whether the home is leaning if wiring is exposed, and other unsafe conditions.
