Storm season brings heavy rain, wind, and hail to Sydney. Here's how to prepare your home and avoid emergency repairs.
Sydney's storm season can cause serious damage to homes that aren't prepared. A little preventative maintenance goes a long way.
Clean Your Gutters
Blocked gutters are the number one cause of storm-related water damage. Clear them before the season starts and again after major storms.
Check Your Roof
Have a professional check for loose or cracked tiles, rusted flashing, and worn sealant around vents and skylights.
Secure Loose Items
Outdoor furniture, pot plants, and garden decor become projectiles in high winds. Secure or store them before a forecast storm.
Test Your Sump Pump
If your property is prone to flooding, make sure any sump pump or drainage system is working before the wet season arrives.
Have an Emergency Plumber on Speed Dial
Storm damage often means emergency plumbing and electrical repairs. Save Tradie Heroes' number for fast, 24/7 storm response.
