Storm season in Texas can be unpredictable, bringing high winds, hail, and heavy rain. Homeowners should take proactive steps to protect their roofs from damage before severe weather strikes. According to the Insurance Information Institute (III), wind and hail damage account for nearly 34% of all homeowners’ insurance claims in the U.S. each year.
Steps to Protect Your Roof:
- Schedule a Professional Inspection – Identifying weak spots early prevents costly repairs.
- Trim Overhanging Branches – Prevents branches from falling onto your roof during storms.
- Check Gutters & Downspouts – Ensures proper drainage to prevent water buildup and leaks.
- Secure Loose Shingles – Loose or missing shingles can lead to water infiltration and structural damage.
Taking these precautions can significantly reduce storm-related damages and lower insurance premiums.
