Our local Otay Mesa/San Ysidro teams restore wind-damaged properties every year. The Santa Ana winds are notorious for their strength and unpredictability, making it vital to prepare your home in advance.

Start by inspecting your yard for anything that could become airborne in high winds. Secure outdoor furniture, grills, and other loose items, or move them indoors. Trees and shrubs should be trimmed to remove weak or dead branches that could snap and cause harm to your home or surrounding structures.

Examine your roof for loose or damaged shingles and repair any issues to ensure it can withstand the winds. Clear gutters and downspouts to prevent debris buildup, which can cause water to pool if rain accompanies the winds. Make sure fences, sheds, and other outdoor fixtures are firmly anchored to prevent them from shifting or collapsing.

For added safety, consider reinforcing windows with storm-resistant materials or using heavy-duty tape to reduce the risk of breakage. Double-check doors to ensure they close securely, minimizing drafts and the potential for wind to enter your home.

By preparing your property ahead of time, you can significantly reduce the risk of damage and ensure your home is ready to weather the Santa Ana winds safely.
