Spring Update from Loggerhead Insurance

Thank you for insuring your home with Loggerhead! As spring approaches, and weather patterns change, severe thunderstorm activity can occur more often. Spring is also a good time to check plumbing systems to prevent water damage. Below are a few tips for this time of year. Additional information on thunderstorm safety is available at the Ready.gov and National Safety Council websites; the Spruce website has a thorough plumbing maintenance checklist.

Home Safety & Loss Prevention

Cut down or trim trees that touch your home or may be in danger of falling on your home.
Consider buying surge protectors or a lightning protection system to protect your home, appliances, and electronic devices.
Check plumbing for leaks including appliance water supply lines and under sinks.
Test shut-off valves on water lines to fixtures and appliances.
Know the location of your main water shut-off and test to ensure it works properly.
Consider installing water sensors which provide an early warning if appliances such as toilets, water heaters, refrigerators, or washing machines begin to leak. A notification from these sensors can help prevent a leak from creating significant damage to flooring, walls, and furniture.

Personal Safety

Pay attention to severe weather alerts and warnings. Move from outdoors into a building or car with a roof when severe weather is approaching.
Avoid using devices connected to an electrical outlet and avoid running water during a thunderstorm.
Do not walk or drive through flooded areas after a storm. Just six inches of fast-moving water can knock a person down and one foot of moving water can move a vehicle.
Stay away from any fallen power lines and trees following a storm and report them immediately.
