Santa Ana Winds Cause Property Damage

Last month Santa Ana Winds brought high winds and wind gusts to San Diego County. SERVPRO^® of Mission Valley East responds to storm damage emergencies throughout the year in Mission Valley and we are on call 24-hours a day.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), severe winds like Santa Ana Winds, thunderstorms, and rainstorms can cause property damage. FEMA offers these suggestions on ways to protect your home from severe winds:

• TRIM OR REMOVE DEAD, DAMAGED, OR ROTTING TREES AND LIMBS

High winds can cause trees and branches to fall. Make sure any damaged trees on the property are trimmed or removed on a regular basis. Your home should be at least a full-grown tree’s height away from the base of any tree, usually about 40 feet away.

• SECURE OBJECTS OUTSIDE THE HOME Loose shingles, your dog’s house, trash cans, and sports equipment can be picked up by the wind and cause damage to your home. Secure outdoor objects like furniture, gutters, and downspouts.
• SECURE FENCING, PORCHES, CANOPIES, AND SHEDS

Have them inspected and make sure they are firmly attached and in sound structural condition. Secure any parts of fencing that appear weak or loose.
