Gutters and Downspouts First
Storm debris — leaves, small branches, and roofing grit — commonly ends up clogging gutters immediately after a spring storm. Clearing this promptly prevents overflow issues during the next rain event, which often follows quickly in an active storm pattern.
Roof and Siding Debris
Small branches, leaves, and grit can accumulate on roof valleys and against siding after high winds. A post-storm check for accumulated debris, along with any visible shingle or siding damage, is worth doing before the next storm arrives.
Driveway and Walkway Debris
Mud, leaves, and small debris tracked or blown onto driveways and walkways after storms are easily addressed with a pressure washing pass, restoring the property's appearance quickly after severe weather.
