The effects of storm damage can range from minor inconveniences to major structural damage that requires costly repairs.

Storms can cause significant damage to both residential and commercial properties in Newton Falls, McDonald, Leavittsburg and their surrounding areas. High winds, heavy rain, hail, and flooding can all wreak havoc on Lordstown buildings and the surrounding landscape. The effects of storm damage can range from minor inconveniences to major structural damage that requires costly repairs. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the various types of storm damage and how to protect your property from future storms. 

• Wind Damage: High winds can cause significant damage to both residential and commercial properties. Wind can tear off roof shingles, break windows, and even cause structural damage to walls and foundations. Wind can also cause trees to fall, which can damage roofs, siding, and other parts of the building. 
• Rain Damage: Heavy rain can cause flooding in basements and crawl spaces, leading to water damage to walls, floors, and furniture. Rain can also cause roof leaks, which can lead to mold and mildew growth. 
• Hail Damage: Hail can cause significant damage to roofs, siding, and windows. Hailstones can be large enough to break through windows and cause dents in metal siding. 
• Flooding: Flooding can cause significant damage to both residential and commercial properties. Flooding can cause water damage to walls, floors, and furniture, as well as mold and mildew growth. 
• Protecting Your Property: The best way to protect your property from storm damage is to take preventive measures. Make sure your roof is in good condition and that your gutters are clear of debris. Trim trees and shrubs away from your home or business to reduce the risk of them falling during a storm. Install storm shutters on windows to protect them from wind and hail damage. 
• Finally, consider investing in flood insurance to protect your property from flooding. Storm damage can be costly and inconvenient, but taking preventive measures can help reduce the risk of damage to your property.
