Kids are out of school, and the official start to summer is only a few days away. We want to make sure that you have a fun and safe summer, so we thought we’d share some useful summer safety tips.

The summertime is peak grilling season. Studies show that more than 10,000 grilling-related accidents happen each year. That’s why it’s important to practice safety when using your grill. Here are some grilling safety tips:

  • Place your grill away from your home, overhangs, and low-lying branches. 
  • Never use your grill inside, even in your garage.
  • Before use, inspect your grill and your propane tank for any signs of damage.
  • Never leave your grill unattended.
  • Pay special attention to dogs and small children when your grill is in use.
  • Place your grill on a level area.

Summer accidents can also occur when people leave their home to go on vacation. So, here are some tips about keeping your home safe while you’re away:

  • Turn off your water supply while you’re on vacation. That way, if a leak happens, it won’t flood your home.
  • Turn off all of your electronics before you leave.
  • Do not turn off your air conditioning while you’re gone. Many people do this thinking that it will save them money. However, this can lead to moisture and mold issues in your home. Instead, just turn down the AC a few degrees to cut costs.
  • Tell a trusted neighbor that you’ll be out of town. That way, they can keep an eye out for your home while you’re away.

Here at 24 Restore, we hope that you have a fun and safe summer. For all of your fire & water restoration needs in the Greenville, NC area, give us a call.
