Spring Storm Hazards & How to Protect Against Them

While rain is a primary concern during a storm, several other factors can threaten your property. Consider these elements and spring storm preparation tips to stay safe and minimize potential damage.

  1. Heavy Rains & Flooding

    Torrential downpours are a leading cause of water and flood damage in Illinois and Missouri. This water can lead to serious issues, including rotting, warping, mold growth, and even structural collapse. Take these steps to mitigate the risks:

    • Ensure gutters and downspouts channel water away from your foundation.
    • Regularly clean gutters to prevent blockages from leaves, sticks, and debris.
    • Install splash blocks at the outlet points of downspouts.
    • Consider underground pipes to direct water further from your home’s foundation.
    • Invest in flood insurance. Standard homeowner’s policies typically do not cover flood damage, requiring a specialized policy. You can find providers at FloodSmart.gov.
  2. Gale Force Winds

    Strong winds can generate dangerous gusts that sling debris and damage trees. Protect your property by:

    • Identifying trees, fences, and other items that could be impacted by wind.
    • Trimming back overhanging limbs, branches, and foliage close to your roof, windows, walls, fences, or decks.
    • Securing patio furniture, toys, and lawn machinery before a storm.
    • Parking cars away from potential falling trees and limbs.
  3. Hail Damage

    Hail, even on warm days, can cause significant damage to homes and vehicles. Protect against hail damage by:

    • Parking cars in a garage or carport.
    • Covering vehicles with blankets if covered parking isn’t available.
    • Closing windows, blinds, and curtains during a hailstorm to prevent injuries from broken glass.
    • Moving fragile pots and patio furniture to a shed or covered area.
    • Contacting your insurance agent immediately if you experience hail damage.
