Signs Your Home Needs Hurricane-Hardening Upgrades
It’s essential to reinforce your home to stand against hurricanes, safeguarding your property and loved ones in the face of Florida’s severe storms.
Knowing the signs that your home is vulnerable to hurricanes is crucial for ensuring its resilience. Here are key signs that your house may be ill-equipped to withstand a hurricane:
- Lack of Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors: Homes with standard windows and doors are at risk during hurricanes due to potential breakage from high winds and flying debris.
- Inadequate Roofing: Roofs showing signs of wear, such as missing shingles or weak connections, may not be secure during a hurricane’s intense conditions.
- Loose Siding or Cladding: Siding that is not securely attached can be torn off by hurricane-force winds.
- Weak Foundation: Foundations that are not robust may not withstand the force of floodwaters or storm surges.
- Unsecured Outdoor Items: Loose items like potted plants and outdoor furniture can become projectiles, posing a risk to your home.
- Lack of Shutters or Storm Panels: Without protective measures, your home’s windows are vulnerable to damage.
- Vulnerable Garage Doors: Non-reinforced garage doors can fail, allowing wind to enter and potentially cause structural damage.
- Inadequate Drainage: Poor drainage can lead to flooding, exacerbating the risk of water damage during a storm.
