Spring Storm Preparedness: Protecting Your Home & Business

As the snow melts and the temperatures rise, spring brings longer days, fresh air—and unpredictable weather. In Wisconsin, spring storms can come with heavy rain, strong winds, and even hail, creating risks for both homeowners and business owners alike. Now is the perfect time to ensure your property is prepared for the season ahead.

‍Minimize Storm Damage with Preventative Maintenance

One of the best ways to protect your home or business from spring storms is to take proactive steps before severe weather hits. Here’s a checklist to help reduce the risk of damage:

• Inspect Your Roof & Gutters – Check for missing or damaged shingles and clean out gutters to prevent water buildup that could lead to leaks or flooding.
• Trim Trees & Secure Outdoor Items – Strong winds can send tree branches, patio furniture, or signage flying, potentially causing property damage.
• Check Your Sump Pump – Heavy spring rains can cause basement flooding. Ensure your sump pump is working correctly to help prevent water damage.‍
• Review Drainage Around Your Property – Ensure water flows away from your foundation to reduce the risk of leaks and structural damage.

Understanding Your Insurance Coverage

Even with preventative measures in place, storms can still cause unexpected damage. That’s why reviewing your insurance policy is key to ensuring you have the right coverage in place. Here are a few things to consider:

• Does your homeowners or business policy cover wind and hail damage? These are common risks in spring storms.
• Do you have flood insurance? Standard policies typically don’t cover flooding, so you may need additional protection.‍
• What about business interruption coverage? If a storm forces your business to temporarily close, this coverage can help cover lost income.
