❄️🏠 Hello, November! Winter Is Coming! 🏠❄️
As we enter November, now is the time to start preparing your home for Winter weather. A little prevention now can save you from some BIG headaches later!
Here are a few things to add to your Winter-prep checklist:
☑️ Protect your pipes: Disconnect garden hoses, insulate exposed pipes, and know where your main water shutoff is located.
☑️ Check your gutters: Clear leaves and debris to help prevent ice dams and water backup.
☑️ Inspect your roof: Look for damaged shingles, flashing issues, or areas where water could find its way inside.
☑️ Test your sump pump: Make sure it's working properly before winter rain, snowmelt, and freezing temperatures arrive.
☑️ Seal drafts: Check windows, doors, and other openings where cold air can enter.
☑️ Check your heating system: Make sure it's operating properly and keep vents and filters clean.
☑️ Be mindful of freezing temperatures: Keep an eye on vulnerable plumbing, especially during extended cold snaps.
Winter weather is unpredictable, but preparing your home doesn't have to be! A little preparation today can prevent a lot of restoration tomorrow. And if winter weather 🍂🍁leaves🍂🍁 you with unwanted damage, Towne is here to help!
