Some big storm systems moved across the country over the past few months. The East Coast had the big holiday weekend blizzard, dumping up to 3 feet of snow in some areas. New York and Massachusetts residents found themselves digging out for several days to get their homes and cities back to normal. The West Coast recently had record breaking rainfall. Los Angeles and other parts of California were plagued with floods and mudslides because of the torrential downpour.
Now that the bad weather appears to be subsiding, people are trying to get back to their normal routines. This means getting the post-storm cleanup over with. That’s easier said than done. A blizzard or rainstorm can often leave a path of destruction in its wake that requires homeowners and businesses to take some real action in order to repair. Here are a few targets that shouldn’t be overlooked in the post-storm cleanup process:
Damaged Furniture Removal - Outdoor patio furniture and porch items could have been easily damaged and destroyed in the rain or snow. Not only are these broken items eyesores, but they also can be hazardous and dangerous to keep around. The damage may not have been limited to the outdoor items either; leaky roofs and flooding could have wrecked a number of items within your home or business. These wet furniture items are prime breeding grounds for hazardous mold and fungi if they aren’t quickly disposed.
Yard Waste and Debris: Any big storm is bound to bring down some tree limbs (or even whole trees depending on the strength of the system). These fallen tree limbs end up strewn about a homeowner’s backyard, or even worse, causing damage to the house itself. On top of tree limbs, other outdoor materials like wooden planks, dirt and rocks can end up making quite a mess. All this waste ends up rendering anyone’s backyard useless until the debris is properly removed.
Bigger Items: You never know the extent of a storm’s damage. Some of the recent blizzards, rain and floods could have caused some major areas of destruction within residential neighborhoods. Cars, boats, bikes, basketball hoops, and even entire homes could have been broken apart. Needless to say, it’s pretty hard to get back to a normal life when all the larger parts of it are broken down and laying around.
