A little home maintenance now goes a long way toward preventing costly water damage and burst pipes down the road.
Here are 4 simple outdoor & home maintenance steps to tackle before the deep freeze sets in:
💧 Drain Outdoor Spigots: Disconnect garden hoses and shut off interior supply valves to exterior taps.
🍂 Clear Gutters & Downspouts: Clear out leaves and debris to prevent ice dams and roof damage.
🚪 Seal Air Leaks: Check weatherstripping around doors and basement windows to block freezing drafts.
🌡️ Maintain Consistent Heat: Keep your thermostat at a minimum of 15°C (55°F), even when away traveling.
