If you suspect any damage to your home from a recent storm, call SERVPRO of Alamo Heights and SERVPRO of Downtown San Antonio/ Team Simonis
After a long and hot summer season, the chill of winter can be welcome for so many people! While the colder temperatures are a relief, there is still the possibility for some unsavory weather during the fall and winter seasons here in south-central Texas.
It sounds like we will be in luck this season! The prediction of mild temperatures and significant rain may allow us to avoid some of the colder weather that we have seen in previous years.
However, we all know that the weather can change in an instant here and we could be surprised by snow or ice at any time.
While we are most accustomed to mild temperatures, rain, and wind during the winter season, we know all too well that snow and major storms are always a possibility.
Do we need to remind you what happened in 2021? While this snowstorm was unprecedented and historic, it serves as a great example on why our homes need to be ready to keep us safe in any situation.
Winter looks very different across the country, and our typical threats here in Texas are mostly focused on rain, ice and sleet. We still do get winter storms though as well!
This is why your emergency kit should always be stocked and ready to use. Include medications, a weather radio, food and anything else that you would need to live comfortably during a power outage or storm.
It is also a good idea to take a walk around your home to make sure your windows and doors are waterproof and well-sealed. This can save you from water damage and eventual mold growth.
Outside your home, focus on your roof, clear any leaves or debris out of your gutters and downspouts, and trim any tree branches that are hanging over your home. Keeping your roof clear helps minimize your risk of water pooling and creating issues all season long.
Even if you do your best to prepare, the unexpected can still happen. That’s where we come in! Your SERVPRO of Alamo Heights and SERVPRO of Downtown San Antonio/ Team Simonis team is ready to jump into action for you the moment that you call.
If you experience damage in a winter storm, call us. We have the experience and equipment to get your home back to normal.
