As storm season ramps up here in La Crosse, Wisconsin, now is the time to take action to protect your home, vehicles, and belongings. At Preferred Insurance Agency, we’ve seen firsthand how spring and summer storms can cause unexpected damage—and how the right preparation and insurance coverage can make all the difference.
Here are 5 key ways to get storm-ready:
1. Secure Outdoor Items
High winds can turn patio furniture, grills, and trampolines into dangerous projectiles. Anchor them down or bring them inside before a storm hits.
2. Clean Gutters and Downspouts
Clogged gutters can cause rainwater to back up into your home. Clear leaves and debris to allow proper drainage and prevent water damage.
3. Trim Overhanging Branches
Tree limbs hanging over your roof or driveway can break off during heavy storms. Trimming them now can prevent roof damage or costly vehicle repairs later.
4. Check Your Sump Pump
If you have a basement, make sure your sump pump is working properly. A battery backup system is a smart investment to prevent flooding during power outages.
5. Review Your Insurance Coverage
Storms can bring hail, wind, and water damage. Now is the time to review your homeowners and auto insurance policies to ensure you’re fully protected. Do you have comprehensive auto coverage in case of hail? Does your home policy include sewer backup or sump pump failure? We’ll help you find out.
