Seasonal care

A calm checklist for Minnesota summer storms

August 12, 2026

Summer storms can move through the Twin Cities quickly. A few simple habits can protect your home and make maintenance easier for everyone.

Close windows before leaving, bring lightweight balcony items inside, and keep floor drains clear. If water appears where it should not, photograph the area from a safe distance and contact the property team promptly. Never enter standing water near electrical equipment.

After the storm, note when the issue started and whether it is getting better or worse. Clear information helps the right local professional arrive prepared. Varpness residents can reach the team at 612-230-1288 or admin@varpnessproperties.com.
