Hurricane Season Prep for Your Foundation

When hurricane season rolls in, most people think about windows and roofs—but your foundation is just as vulnerable. Floodwater, wind-driven rain, and extended saturation can destabilize soils and stress a home’s structure. That’s why preparation matters.

Practical steps include placing sandbags where water tends to collect, testing your sump pump if you have one, and checking that elevation systems are in good working order. Protecting the base of your home during a storm helps ensure the rest of the house stays safe too.
