Spring Storm Preparation for Your Home

The tulips are flowering and the weather’s warming up. Those are sure signs that spring is beginning to bloom — which means spring weather is here, too. Spring can bring some strong storms your way. But, with a little storm preparation, you’ll be ready to protect your home against Mother Nature. Here are some spring weather safety tips to help you better understand how to prepare your home for spring storms.

If you ever have to make a sump pump and water backup claim, creating a home inventory will help get you back on your feet more quickly. Begin your home inventory by taking a video of your home and your most valuable possessions. Be sure to include model and serial numbers.

And don’t forget to tour the exterior of your home, capturing your outdoor furniture, unattached structures and other items on your property like swimming pools and trampolines.
