• Reseal any cracking caulk or weatherstrips on external windows and doors to prevent any leaks. 

• Inspect the outside of your home for cracks and any overhanging tree limbs that could fall during a storm. 

• Protect yourself in the event of a flood from a summer storm by double-checking that you have flood insurance added to your home insurance policy.

• Spray your yard and home to protect it from insects, pests, and other creatures, setting traps or deterrents when needed.

• Schedule a yearly inspection each summer to help catch termites and stop them in their tracks before they cause major damage to your home’s structure.
