When severe weather strikes, a below-ground shelter in Harrisburg, IL, provides a safe retreat until the storm passes. Baker & Sons Plumbing can install a tornado shelter directly in your yard with a hatch for easy access. While the storm rages above ground, you’ll wait in the shelter with your family and use your emergency supplies.
I will definitely be recommending Baker and Sons to everyone!! They were very professional and came quickly! I love how they sent a picture of the technician that was scheduled to come and the number he was going to be calling from. They went above and beyond and are fair priced. The technicians were very nice and explained everything that they were going to do. Very pleased with everything!
You might have previously sheltered in the bathtub or the center of your house during tornado warnings, or in your basement. Underground shelters require an up-front investment, but they offer unparalleled security that you won’t find in your home. Being above ground during a storm could expose you to rain, lightning, strong winds, and flying debris. Basements are better, but still vulnerable, and risk becoming impossible to exit after the storm if parts of your home collapse on top of them.
A tornado shelter in Harrisburg provides an underground sanctuary with stairs, handlebars, ventilation, and space for multiple people. The door locks securely, protecting the occupants until it’s safe to leave.
While air temperatures fluctuate, underground temperatures stay consistent. This creates a more stable climate inside your below-ground shelter. If you plan to sell your house within the next few years, underground shelters increase your home’s value by adding security.
Tornado shelters also provide additional storage for emergency supplies. You’ll still need room for human occupants, but blankets, canned food, water jugs, and radios no longer take up space in your garage. As an authorized tornado shelter retailer and installer, Baker & Sons Plumbing offers designs that comply with FEMA and national building codes. Once installed, only the door is visible in your yard. Opening the door reveals a set of stairs and handrails that lead to a clean, ventilated compartment with seating for your entire household.
