After Storm - Checklist

• Inspect for any damaged screens or bent cages.
• Examine the roof for any damages, even minor ones, as they could lead to leaks.
• Ensure that the gutters and soffits around the house are intact and in good condition.
• Check vehicles for any damage or signs of water intrusion. Even if the exterior appears fine, saltwater may have entered. If the car seems unaffected, still take it to a car wash or rinse off any saltwater.
• Verify if any circuit breakers have tripped. This is often indicated by a red marker or a breaker in the center position.
• Look for any snapped power lines connecting the house to the street.
• Confirm the pool timer is set correctly and adjust if necessary.
• Ensure that pool equipment has not been submerged and check for debris inside the pool heater.
• Test the air conditioning system to ensure it is cooling properly, as debris could have entered the condenser fan.
• Reset the emergency release on the garage door if needed.
• Verify that electric shutters are operating correctly both up and down.
• Check that the internet is functioning properly; sometimes the modem, router, or switch may need a reboot.
• Inspect for water damage around windows and baseboards, as high winds can force water through small cracks.
• Look for water spots around the refrigerator, which may indicate melting ice cubes that could damage the floor.
