🏔️ OWN A SECOND HOME IN THE COLORADO MOUNTAINS? DON’T LET WINTER CATCH YOU OFF GUARD. ❄️
If you have a cabin or second home in Ouray, Ridgway, Telluride, Gunnison, or Crested Butte, now is a great time to make sure your property is ready for winter.
A heating system that stops working, an exposed pipe, or a home left unattended during a winter storm can quickly turn into a costly water damage disaster.
Before the next deep freeze, make sure someone checks:
✔️ Heat is working and maintained at 55°F or higher in every zone.
✔️ Under sinks and around water heaters for leaks or drips.
✔️ Ceilings and walls for signs of moisture or new water stains.
✔️ Someone local knows how to shut off the water and respond to an emergency.
Remember: Catching a problem early can save you thousands in repairs.
If you return to your property and discover water damage, shut off the main water supply if it’s safe to do so and call us right away. Prompt water mitigation is critical to protecting your home.
