Home Tip of the Month

Prepare Now For Storm Season

Storm season officially begins June 1, and the best time to prepare is now. Here are some key steps to protect your home and your peace of mind:

- If you have a generator, have it professionally tested now. Make sure it’s fully operational, fueled, and ready. Consider setting up weekly auto-test cycles to keep it in reliable shape.

- Inspect your shutters or impact windows and ensure everything functions properly.

- Clean gutters and drains, and check your roof for vulnerabilities.

- Take inventory: Walk through your home and photograph valuable items for insurance documentation.

- Review your insurance policies, including wind and flood coverage.

And if you’re planning to be away this summer or fall:

- Identify a reliable homewatch service or a trusted individual who can:

- Check in on your home regularly

- Bring in patio furniture and secure loose items before a storm

- Serve as your eyes and ears after a storm to report damage or coordinate repairs

Peace of mind comes from knowing someone is looking out for your home when you can’t be there.
