GETTING YOUR HOME READY FOR WINTER
Ten Tips to help with Winterizing & Maintenance of Your Home
• Caulk around all windows and doors where needed.
• Replace any damaged or missing weather stripping on doors, windows, attic hatch, garage doors.
• Caulk or use expandable insulation on any areas where wires, cables, vents, plumbing pipes, service entry pipes penetrate the outside walls.
• Check landscape and driveway slope to make sure it is sloped away from foundation to prevent water damage.
• Check to see if you have the proper location for receptacles for outdoor Christmas lighting & the proper amperage needed to prevent using extension cords, which could cause a line voltage drop. They could also be a trip hazard & could cause fire or shock.
• Keep snow clear of Furnace and dryer vents to prevent carbon monoxide from backing up back into house.
• Clean eaves troughs and down spouts to prevent water back up and ice build up.
• (Roof) Seal around plumbing vent pipes, attic vents, Flashing's & Valleys where needed.
• Trim hedges, trees, vines, shrubs away from house to prevent moisture damage to walls & foundation. Remove vines from brickwork as they can grow through mortar into the home.
