Heavy rains cause the ceiling to collapse

When a roof leaks during heavy rains and drips from the ceiling it can quickly turn into an emergency. Rainstorms can appear suddenly with little warning and may only last a few minutes but has the strength and power to cause a great amount of damage. If you experience storm damage to your home or business, call us 24/7.

Here are a few tips before a rainstorm

• Keep trees trimmed to prevent limbs from falling onto buildings, cars or people.
• Make sure preparedness kits are portable for easy transport if evacuation is necessary. Preparedness kits should be tailored to household needs.
• If hail or strong winds are expected, park vehicles under a shelter to avoid damage.
• Bring pets indoors before a storm moves into the area. Sheds, dog houses, and garages do not provide ample protection from lightning, hail, high winds, and tornadoes.
• Check weather forecasts daily, purchase an all-hazard weather radio and have multiple ways to receive weather alerts.
• Plan outdoor events near a secure shelter where people can go in the event of a storm.
