With the arrival of autumn, it becomes essential to conduct a thorough review of homes to ensure their protection against the harshness of the weather. It is crucial to analyze the condition of the roof, foundation, windows, and plumbing, as leaks, flooding, or detachment may worsen with storms and frost.
Climate change has increased the frequency and severity of weather phenomena that threaten the safety of our homes. A recent study reveals that 44% of home insurance claims are due to water damage, underscoring the importance of proper prevention.
Mario Pérez, the commercial director of Allianz Partners Spain, emphasizes the urgency of safeguarding homes against flooding and other incidents. The experience gained in recent years has taught us that preparation is key. Allianz Partners not only provides assistance when these problems occur but also promotes prevention through proper maintenance.
Among the most damaging phenomena are frost and hailstorms. Frost particularly affects roofs and exposed areas. Understanding the frost resistance of construction materials is crucial, as it determines their resilience to freezing temperatures. The freezing of water in these materials can lead to cracks that, during thawing, allow moisture to enter.
During storms, adequate insulation in homes becomes essential. Sealing doors and windows, as well as keeping blinds down, are some of the recommended measures. Additionally, it is vital to keep gutters and downspouts clean to avoid blockages that can lead to dampness.
In conclusion, with autumn comes an increased need to protect against weather damage. Adopting these measures can result in effective safeguarding and prevent significant damage that affects the safety and well-being of homes.
