Extreme weather threatens your property: How to secure your home now!

Berlin, Deutschland - Berlin-extreme weather such as heavy rain, hail and storm are on the rise and endanger the buildings in Germany, warns a new study by the building owner protection association (BSB). Almost any property can be affected by these unpredictable weather events, but many are not sufficiently protected. Erik Stange, spokesman for the BSB, explains that homeowners often underestimate the dangers: "Foresight action is now in demand." Regular checks of roofs, facades and drainage systems are essential to avoid costly damage.

The study emphasizes that the costs for storm damage have increased triple since the 1980s. The BSB recommends home owners to find out about weather risks and, if necessary, to use storm -safe materials and strong drainage systems. Insurance coverage should also be checked whether it covers elementary damage. The BSB offers advice to choose tailor -made protective measures and thus better secure its own four walls against extreme weather conditions. Details can be found in a report on www.presseportal.de
