Here in Charleston, we all know that summertime means two things: scorching heat and heavy rain. And as hurricane season kicks into full swing, it’s more important than ever to make sure your property is prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws at us.
At Black Dog Junk Removal, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly loose items around a yard or business can become dangerous during high winds and flooding. What might seem like harmless clutter—an old grill, a stack of lumber, broken furniture, or even a few scattered toys—can turn into flying debris or blocked drainage during a storm. That’s why we’re encouraging all homeowners and business owners in the Charleston area to take a few minutes this week and walk your property.
Ask yourself:
- Are there any loose items or old junk that could blow around during high winds?
- Are your stormwater drains and gutters clear of debris?
- Is your yard clutter-free and ready for heavy rain and potential flooding?
The Hidden Risks of Ignoring Storm Prep Junk
Every year, we help clean up after storms that could’ve done far less damage if the property had been properly cleared in advance. Items like:
- Rusted lawn equipment
- Unused lumber or fencing
- Broken-down sheds
- Scrap metal or construction debris
- Old patio furniture or appliances
…are not only eyesores, they’re liabilities when winds get strong or waters start to rise. And once a storm hits, cleanup gets more expensive, more complicated, and more dangerous.
