FIVE QUICK TIPS TO GET
YOUR HOME READY FOR WINTER
Roof repairs: If you can
safely get onto your roof to inspect for missing shingles or other factors that
may lead to a leaky roof, now's the time to do it! If not, call in a professional organization
and have them take care of the rooftop work for you.
Seal it off: Inspect doors
and windows to ensure that the weather-stripping is in good condition. This will keep your house warmer and cozier
in the winter months.
Hot stuff: Make sure that
your heater and ventilation systems are in good working order! Clean out accessible ducts and replace
filters where necessary.
Chimney sweep: Creosote, a
black substance that builds up in the chimney when wood is burned, can cause
chimney fires. Inspect your chimney for
creosote and call a chimney sweep to keep your fireplace safe and functional.
Gutter check: Now's the
time to clean out those rain gutters again!
If you want to do it yourself, make sure that you can safely access the
gutters and then scoop out any debris, blast the drains clean with a high-powered
hose, and repair any leaks you may find along the way.
