Much of NC has been experiencing some winter weather lately. While the snow can be beautiful, the ice that often comes with it can be dangerous and can cause real damage to your home. Here are some tips to help you prepare your home for winter weather:
- Keep the trees in your yard trimmed, especially ones that are close to your home. The extra weight of ice and snow can cause limbs or entire trees to fall.
- Clean out your home’s gutters twice a year. The weight of leaves and yard debris combined with snow and ice can cause gutters to sag or fall off altogether.
- Salt your home’s walkways and outdoor stairs before a snow storm approaches.
- If you have an asphalt driveway, have any cracks resealed before winter hits.
- Have routine maintenance and inspections on your roof and your HVAC system before winter begins.
- If you use a space heater, never leave it unattended, and turn it off when you go to bed.
Here are some tips to help you handle winter weather when it does damage to your home:
- If a tree damages your roof, call us immediately for emergency repair. Don’t try to climb on the roof and do any repairs yourself.
- If your power goes out, and you use your fireplace or candles, never leave them unattended.
- If a window breaks during a snowstorm, cover it with cardboard and clean up the broken glass immediately.
- After a snow storm, inspect your home’s exterior for signs of damage, such as loose siding or missing shingles.
