If your property suffers from a winter storm call SERVPRO of Metrocrest (972) 233-8400
The following are 5 tips to keep yourself and your property safe during a winter storm.
*Follow the storm trackers on your local news. If your local news tells you a blizzard is coming, take the warning seriously.
*Charge your electronic devices. If you know that a storm is coming, make sure you charge your cell phone, laptop and any other electronic device you have.
*Stay inside and off the roads. Driving is dangerous not only because of road conditions, but also reduced visibility.
*Prepare to go without power and heat. Having an emergency supply kit ready for a winter storm is a great idea. Be sure to include candles, matches, flashlights, batteries, warm clothes for everyone in your family and plenty of non-perishable food. Also have a stock of bottled water on hand.
*Keep an eye on the accumulated snow on your roof. The average roof should be able to hold about 20 pounds of pressure per square foot. A foot of fresh snow is equal to about five pounds per square foot. This means that it will take about four feet of snow to cause significant stress to your roof.
If your house suffers any damage as a result of a winter storm call SERVPRO of Metrocrest to help with your needs. (972) 233-8400.
