As hurricane season approaches, it’s crucial to take proactive steps to protect your most valuable asset: your home. At Ace Screen Repair & More, we understand the unique challenges homeowners face in South Florida, and we’re here to help you prepare before the storm hits and assist after it passes.

Before the Storm: Your Essential Hurricane Prep Checklist

Prevention is key! A little preparation now can save you significant time, money, and stress later. Here’s what to inspect around your property:

Pool Cages & Screen Enclosures

These are often the first to go in high winds.

    • Screens: Check for any rips, tears, or loose sections. Even small imperfections can become large breaches in a storm.
    • Screws & Fasteners: Are all screws secure? Look for any signs of rust or corrosion that could weaken their hold. Tighten any loose screws.
    • Frame Integrity: Inspect the aluminum frame for any bends, cracks, or signs of stress.

Gutters

Clogged or damaged gutters can lead to water pooling around your foundation and even roof damage.

    • Clear Debris: Ensure they are free of leaves, branches, and other debris.
    • Secure Attachments: Check that gutters are firmly attached to your fascia.

HVAC Units & Outdoor Equipment

Protecting your vital mechanical systems from wind and water damage is paramount.

  • Hurricane Stands/Elevated Platforms: Consider elevating your HVAC unit, pool pump, and other ground-level outdoor equipment on sturdy hurricane stands or elevated concrete pads. This significantly reduces the risk of water damage from flooding and can protect against wind-borne debris.
  • Anchoring: Ensure these units are properly anchored to their pads or stands to prevent them from shifting or being overturned by high winds. While Ace Screen Repair & More doesn’t install HVAC units, we can assess surrounding structures and provide guidance on how to best protect your entire outdoor area. Consult a licensed HVAC professional for specific unit securing.
  • Clearance: Remove any nearby loose items or vegetation that could become projectiles and damage these units.

Railings (Porch, Deck, Balcony)

Loose railings can become dangerous projectiles. Test their stability and secure any wobbly sections.

Fencing

A damaged fence not only compromises your property’s security but can also become a hazard in high winds.

    • Posts: Check for rot, cracks, or instability at the base.
    • Panels: Ensure all fence panels are securely attached to the posts. Repair or reinforce any loose sections.
    • Gates: Make sure gates latch properly and are not sagging.

After the Storm: What to Check & How We Can Help

The storm has passed, now what? Once it’s safe to venture outside, conduct a preliminary assessment of your property.

  • Prioritize Safety: Be aware of downed power lines, sharp debris, and potential hazards. Wear sturdy shoes and gloves.
  • Assess Damage:
    • Pool Cages & Screens: Look for any new tears, detached sections, or damaged framework.
    • Gutters, Awnings, Railings, Fences: Check for any dislodged, bent, or broken components.
    • Loose Debris: Identify any loose items around your property that could have caused damage or are now hazards.
