How do I protect my home from summer storms?
Inspect your roof for loose or damaged shingles that could lift in high winds. Clean gutters and downspouts to handle heavy rain. Secure outdoor furniture, grills, and potted plants that could become projectiles. Check that windows and doors seal properly. Install a backup sump pump if your basement is prone to flooding during heavy downpours.
