Ways to Make Your Basement Stormproof

3/1/2023 (Permalink)

It’s that time of year again: storm season. And with Middle Tennessee being known for its spring tornadoes, the best thing you can do for your West End home is stormproof your basement. You may be wondering: what IS storm proofing? Simply put, storm proofing is taking the safety precautions necessary to protect your home from the damage that storms like tornadoes and hurricanes often cause. It’s better to be safe than sorry, so we hope our tips below on stormproofing your basement give you some insight into staying safe during tornado season!

In What Ways Can You Storm Proof Your Basement?

  • Basements are hands down the safest place to take shelter in your West End home. It’s best to avoid all windows, no matter how sturdy they may be, to hail and heavy gusts of wind. 
  • Check around your home before the tornado hits any incoming water flows into a drain or gutters. 
  • Have your shingles inspected! A roof inspection can warn you of any loose shingles and other roof components characteristic of damage.
