In this comprehensive guide, Anna Scheller, CEO, and Founder of Capri Temporary Housing, provides invaluable insights into navigating Texas hail season. As a corporate housing provider, Capri understands the importance of protecting guests’ comfort and safety during severe weather events.
Understanding Texas Hail Season
Texas is known for its unpredictable weather patterns, with hailstorms being a common occurrence, especially during the spring and summer months. Hailstones can range in size from small pellets to large chunks of ice, posing a threat to property and personal safety. Anna emphasizes the importance of being prepared for hailstorms and understanding the potential risks they pose to corporate housing properties.
Protecting Your Corporate Housing
To protect corporate housing units from hail damage, Capri implements various measures to reinforce the properties’ resilience. This includes having units in impact-resistant roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles or metal roofs, which are designed to withstand hail impact without sustaining significant damage. Additionally, windows and doors are equipped with window coverings to minimize the risk of breakage going into your apartment during hailstorms.
Taking Action Before a Hailstorm
Prior to the onset of hail season, Capri advises guests to take proactive measures to safeguard their corporate housing units. This includes inspecting the property for any existing vulnerabilities and addressing them promptly. Guests are also encouraged to secure outdoor furniture, vehicles, and other belongings to prevent them from being damaged by hailstones.
Precautions During a Hailstorm
During a hailstorm, guests should take precautions to ensure their safety and minimize property damage, including protecting their vehicles. Capri advises guests to park their vehicles in covered parking areas whenever possible to shield them from hail impact. If covered parking is not available, guests should use car covers or blankets to protect their vehicles from hail damage. Additionally, guests should avoid driving during severe hailstorms and seek shelter in a sturdy building until the storm passes. After the storm, guests should inspect their vehicles for any hail-related damage and report it to their insurance provider as necessary.
After the Storm: Assessing Damage
After a hailstorm has passed, guests should carefully inspect their corporate housing units for any signs of damage. This includes assessing the condition of windows and doors and inspecting outdoor areas for debris or hail-related damage. Guests are advised to document any damage observed and report it to Capri’s management team for prompt resolution.
In Summary
In conclusion, navigating Texas hail season requires proactive planning and preparedness to ensure the safety and well-being of corporate housing guests. By following the guidance provided in this comprehensive guide, guests can minimize the risk of hail-related damage to their accommodations and enjoy a comfortable stay at Capri Temporary Housing.
