Tip: How to minimise storm damage to your home
•Clean leaves and other material from your roof gutters and roof valleys to make sure rainwater drains freely from your roof.
•Check your roof to make sure that roof tiles are not broken or misaligned or that steel roof panels are screwed or nailed down with no rust holes.
•Trim overhanging branches to ensure they don't fall on your house (you may need to obtain council permission).
•Keep ground drains clear of leaves, bark and other debris so that rainwater drains away in heavy rain.
•When a storm is coming close all windows in case rain is blown in on a sharp angle.
•In the event of a storm, it's a good idea to have SES's details on hand in case of damage to your home, or surroundings.
•You should regularly clear your property of loose material that could blow about and possibly cause injury or damage during extreme winds.
Tip: The following are some simple tips to avoid water damage
•Turn all taps off and check your water meter. If it still ticks over you may have a leaking pipe.
•Next time you're in the shower, check for cracked tiles or grout where water could seep through.
•Don't turn your dishwasher or washing machine on as you run out the door, because the water supply pipe may burst while you are out. Do it when you get home.

•A lingering musty smell usually means there's something wrong. If you can't find where it's coming from, call a professional.
•If your water bill suddenly goes up, it may mean that you have a leaking pipe, call a professional.
•Also, if your windows don't close properly, they won't keep water out.
