A Middle Tennessee winter storm can wreak havoc on your North Nashville property, and the best way to minimize the damage is to be prepared ahead of time.

It's best to be aware of the most common types of damage you may face and how to prevent them wherever possible. 

What Kinds Of Damage Might I Face After A North Nashville Storm?

Here are some of the most common damages you may encounter during a storm in your area:

• A flood can devastate your home, whether caused by a tropical storm, hurricane, snowstorm, or a stretch of rainy weather. Even a few inches of water can cause significant water damage. That leads to problems with flooring, your home's structure, and your belongings. When your area floods, it can leave you without clean drinking water or power and leave your area vulnerable to landslides.
•  If lightning strikes, the surge of electricity can travel through your home's wiring, damaging appliances, and electric devices that are connected to it.
• High winds can lift roof shingles, damage your siding, or send unsecured outdoor furnishings and accessories flying through the air. 

How Can I Minimize Storm Damage To My North Nashville Property?

Keep reading for a few tips on how to minimize storm damage:

• Storm shutters can help protect windows, and roofing rated for the average top wind speeds in your area can provide extra peace of mind.
• Invest in hail-resistant roofing and siding, use storm shutters, and store personal property whenever possible.
• Use surge protectors; whole-home protection is best. Unplug electronic devices, and connect devices to surge suppressors to prevent lightning from destroying your gear.
