How can you prepare your Westport home for the 2026 hurricane season?

Start by scheduling a comprehensive home check before peak storm months. Hassle Free Home Services recommends inspecting your roof, gutters, and drainage systems for vulnerability. Secure loose exterior items, update your emergency supply kit, and confirm that sump pumps and backup generators function reliably. For waterfront or flood-prone homes, advanced flooding defense—such as custom sandbagging and temporary water barriers—is essential.

What are the most overlooked risks during hurricane preparation?

Many Westport homeowners underestimate wind-driven water intrusion and the risk of falling trees. Hassle Free Home Services always checks for improperly sealed windows, overhanging branches, and landscape features that could become hazardous. Don’t let pool covers, patio furniture, or unsecured grills slip through the cracks—one missed detail can become a costly repair after a storm.
