Ensure that your roof sheathing is properly installed. The roof sheathing is the boards or plywood nailed to your roof rafters or trusses. During a heavy windstorm, wind forces flow from the roof down to the exterior walls and then the foundation. Homes are damaged when wind is not properly transferred to the ground in a storm. Properly installed sheathing helps to ensure wind is transferred correctly. Make sure the sheathing nails haven't missed the rafters. If they have you'll need to redo them.

What kind of carpet do I have? That may sound like a silly question, but it's an important one, since the best approach to cleaning depends on the type of carpet or rug. Small area rugs may be machine washable. If you have a large area rug, you may be able to take it outside and beat it to remove dirt, though you'll eventually need to deep clean it as well. You can vacuum a wall-to-wall carpet, but to get it really clean, you'll need to look to professional carpet cleaning services. Finally, antique, Oriental, or heirloom rugs are delicate and require special handling, so you should always hire a professional with expertise in this area.
