Winter 2019 - 2020 - Things to do to avoid winter storm damage

9/20/2019 (Permalink)

Winter this year is predicted to be a “Polar Coaster”! With that being said now is the time to start preparing.

Some of the things you can do to protect your home are disconnecting your garden hose from the hose faucet this will help prevent it from freezing and bursting.

Clean your gutters to insure you have proper drainage for the snow as it melts off your roof and preventing an ice dam.

Insulating water lines that run along exterior walls to keep them from freezing.

Cut away tree branches hanging above your house with added weight from snow and ice, they could fall on to your roof causing damage.

If you have a fireplace it’s a good idea to have the chimney and flue inspected annually.

As always it’s a good idea to stay weather aware going into winter and not get caught unprepared. If SERVPRO is needed you can depend on our team to be there when you need  us most and be "Ready for what ever happens."
