As National Hurricane Preparedness Week begins, RestoPros, a leading national restoration and mitigation franchise, is urging homeowners and property managers in high-risk coastal and inland regions to take steps now to prepare their properties ahead of what is expected to be a highly active storm season.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) projects 13 to 18 named storms in the Atlantic basin, with a strong likelihood of above-normal activity. For property owners, that forecast raises the risk of wind damage, water intrusion, mold growth, and expensive repairs if vulnerable areas are not addressed before storms arrive.
“Preparation makes a significant difference in the level of damage a home or business takes on during a storm,” said Alex Blair, CEO of RestoPros. “Loose shingles, clogged gutters, poor drainage, and unsecured outdoor items can all create bigger problems once wind and water hit. Taking care of those areas now can make recovery much easier later.”
Studies show hurricane intensity has increased in recent years, while the cost of weather and climate-related disasters in the U.S. continues to rise, placing added financial pressure on property owners after major events.
To reduce risk ahead of hurricane season, RestoPros recommends that property owners:
- Install storm shutters or reinforce windows where appropriate
- Inspect roofing, windows, and doors for potential entry points
- Clear gutters and direct drainage away from the home
- Trim trees and secure outdoor furniture, grills, and loose items
- Review insurance coverage and document current property conditions
- Identify areas where water is most likely to enter during heavy rain
After a storm, property owners should document visible damage, remove standing water when safe, and begin drying affected areas as soon as possible. A licensed restoration team can help assess the damage, start mitigation, document the loss, and identify hidden moisture before it leads to further damage.
RestoPros experts are available to provide guidance on hurricane preparedness, common causes of storm-related property damage and steps property owners can take to reduce recovery time.
