Is your property prepared for winter?

Is your property prepared for a costly winter catastrophe? Severe winter weather can cause:

  • Damaged or collapsed roofs
  • Bursting pipes 
  • Ice dams
  • Fallen trees 
  • Power failure

 

So what can you do to prepare? 

  • Check your home’s heating system. Is it fully ready, recently serviced and operational for winter?
  • Paint, caulk and seal exterior wood to avoid loss of heat 
  • Seal your masonry and hard surfaces so moisture doesn’t creep in 
  • Check your drainage – are they clear? 
  • Clean your gutters so they are able to do their job. 
  • Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and keep spare batteries on hand.
