Maryland homeowners know that unpredictable storms can strike any time of year. From heavy rain and high winds to hail and snow, extreme weather can wreak havoc on your home’s exterior. Preparing before the storm hits is the best way to minimize damage. At DryTech Roofing Company, we’ve put together this quick storm prep checklist to help protect your roof, siding, and home.
1. Inspect Your Roof for Weak Spots
Before the next storm, check for missing shingles, loose flashing, or sagging areas. These small issues can quickly turn into major leaks when strong winds or heavy rain hit.
If you’re unsure where to start, schedule a Roof Inspection with our professionals to catch early warning signs and make repairs before it’s too late.
2. Secure or Trim Nearby Trees
Overhanging branches can cause serious roof and siding damage if they snap during a storm. Trim them back at least 6–10 feet from your home. If your property has large trees, consider having them professionally inspected to ensure they’re healthy and stable.
3. Check and Clean Your Gutters
Blocked gutters can cause water to back up and pool on your roof, leading to leaks and rot. Make sure downspouts are clear and direct water away from your foundation to prevent flooding.
4. Inspect Siding and Seal Vulnerable Areas
Loose or cracked siding can let water seep into your home. Before the storm, walk around your property and check for any damage. Prompt Siding Repairs will prevent bigger problems later.
