Lesson Overview

47.5 – Cleaning Gutters and Outdoor Areas Before Storms: Cleaning gutters and outdoor spaces before storms prevents damage, flooding, and costly repairs. When leaves and debris clog gutters, water overflows and can damage roofs or foundations. Regular cleaning allows water to flow properly and reduces stress on your home during heavy rain. Clearing outdoor items—like furniture, tools, or decorations—prevents them from becoming projectiles in strong winds. Trimming trees and securing loose branches adds another layer of safety. Inspecting drainage areas ensures that rainwater flows away from your home efficiently. Preparing before bad weather reduces emergency work afterward. Consistent maintenance protects property value and keeps the environment around your home organized. Taking the time to prepare outdoor areas builds pride, safety, and long-term home care habits that make every storm easier to manage.
