Preparing for a Storm

8/5/2021 (Permalink)

Residents and business owners of East Portland are no stranger to unsettled weather.  Pop-up rainstorms are a common occurrence in Portland, and can sometimes produce unexpected amounts of rainwater, and wind. Along with these weather conditions often come watches and warnings, for floods. We’ve all heard about them, but what is the true difference between the two?

While we watch the weather and listen to our local news for advice, it is important to keep your home ready for any disaster. A few tips to keep in mind:

• Check if the gutters have been cleaned and up to date
• Check if your water bill has recently gone up, there might be a possible pipe leak
• Have a professional check your roof for any ware and tear that can lead to a roof leak
