🥶 PSA, OHIO AND MICHIGAN: Get your home ready before the first freeze!
A quick reminder from Nick Kessler Construction—a little preparation now can help prevent expensive repairs later:
💧 Disconnect ALL exterior hoses, including those on frost-free faucets. Drain hoses and store them for winter.
🚰 Winterize outdoor water lines. Shut off and drain exterior faucets where an interior shutoff is provided, and have irrigation systems winterized.
🍂 Clear gutters and downspouts so rain and melting snow can drain away from your home.
🏠 Check weatherstripping and exterior gaps around doors, windows, and pipe openings to keep cold drafts out.
🔥 Get your heating system ready. Replace the filter, test your heat, and schedule service if needed.
🔋 Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, especially before heating season gets underway.
Save this checklist and share it with a neighbor! And consider this your reminder to disconnect that hose you’re “going to get to later.” 😉❄️
