SERVPRO® of Ozaukee County Makes These Home Projects a Priority This Spring

3/26/2021 (Permalink)

Are you ready for winter to be over and spring to arrive? If you’re like most residents of Mequon, Grafton, Cedarburg or Port Washington you are. And you aren’t alone. After another cold, dreary Wisconsin winter, spring is finally in the air.

You probably aren’t the only person you know who’s dealing with spring fever. It’s March now, and that’s a great time to plan what we want to do with warmer days and sunnier afternoons.

Spring is also the time many of us start planning new projects. For you, that might mean deciding how you want to change up your home’s landscaping for the new season. Or you might research parks in the area to (finally) get outside.

Most of us enjoy changing the seasons, but there are always hazards that can come along with it, too. Spring thunderstorms can cause a headache for many homeowners.

The good news is that are many ways you can ensure your home is ready to withstand the weather.

Add These Projects to Your List

Make these home improvement projects a priority one weekend this month:

1. Remove any hazards that threaten your roof. Limbs and branches hanging over your home can be hazardous. Winds can bring them down and cause damage. You can prevent this from happening by cutting them down.
2. Clean your gutters. Clean gutters allow water to move around your home the correct way. Don’t let water back up from your home and cause water damage.
3. Check your roof for leaks and damage. Be sure your roof doesn’t have any missing shingles.
4. Secure things around your home that you can. Be sure your patio furniture or other similar items don’t become tools for the wind to damage your home.

If a fire, flood or any other disaster cause damage to your home, you can always count on us for restoration assistance. We are available²⁴⁄₇in the event of an emergency. Contact SERVPRO of Ozaukee County at 262-242-8888 any time to learn more about our restoration services and how we can help you.
