IS YOUR HOME READY FOR WINTER?
With cooler temperatures, rain, and potential windy days on the way, now is the perfect time to give your home a little attention before winter arrives!
Here are 6 things every homeowner should check before the next big storm:
Clean your gutters – Remove leaves and debris so rainwater can drain properly and away from your home.
Check your drainage – Make sure downspouts direct water away from your foundation and that drains aren't clogged.
Inspect your roof – Look for missing or damaged shingles, loose flashing, and signs of leaks.
Check around your foundation – Look for standing water, soil erosion, or areas where rainwater collects near your home.
Trim problem branches – Remove hazardous or overhanging branches that could damage your roof during strong winds. Hire a professional for dangerous limbs.
Prepare your outdoor areas – Secure loose items, inspect walkways for trip hazards, and make sure exterior steps and paths drain properly.
A little prevention now can help you avoid costly repairs later!
From all of us at Strandberg Construction, stay safe, stay dry, and get your home ready for the season ahead!
