Southwest Ranches Home Sustains Damage During Recent Storm?

Our local Pembroke Pines and West Miramar teams are leaders in storm damage restoration services. In December, the Southwest Ranches area typically experiences a mild and relatively dry winter climate, but the occasional storm does blow through. While the region does not often face severe storms like hurricanes during this time of year, there are still several ways in which storms can cause damage to homes in the area:
Heavy Rainfall: December storms can bring heavy rainfall, which can lead to flooding and water damage. Homes that are not properly prepared or do not have adequate drainage systems may experience water intrusion, which can damage walls, ceilings, floors, and personal belongings.
Strong Winds: Although rare, December storms can produce strong winds capable of causing damage to roofs, siding, and outdoor structures like fences and sheds. Loose or weakly attached roofing materials and outdoor objects can become projectiles during high winds, potentially causing damage to homes.
Lightning Strikes: Thunderstorms that occasionally accompany December storms can produce lightning, which can strike homes and cause fires, electrical system damage, and structural damage. Lightning can also damage electronic devices and appliances connected to electrical outlets.
Fallen Trees and Branches: High winds and heavy rains can weaken trees and cause them to topple or shed branches. These falling trees and branches can damage homes by breaking windows, damaging roofs, and even causing structural damage.
Power Outages: Storms can result in power outages, leaving homes without electricity for an extended period. This can lead to various issues, including food spoilage, discomfort, and inconvenience.
