Protecting our homes for all kinds of weather

Rain Storm

Ontario, California’s wild weather swings, from pounding rain to drought and from fires to floods.

We need to prepare our homes or businesses for all kinds of weather.

Water Damage

Of course, water damage isn’t limited to rain. Leaking pipes and valves inside your home can cause problems just as severe as rainwater intrusion, but your home’s protection begins with its exterior. Ensure that your roof, exterior walls, gutters and landscape are working as they should to keep your home high and dry.

Wildfires

Keep lawns and native grasses mowed to a height of four inches. Remove ladder fuels (vegetation under trees) so a surface fire cannot reach the crowns. Prune trees up to six to ten feet from the ground; for shorter trees do not exceed 1/3 of the overall tree height.

Remove dead vegetation and other items from under your deck or porch, and within 10 feet of the house.
