Winter damage is usually cheap to prevent and expensive to fix. ❄️
Before the first hard freeze, here are five quick things we’d check on any home:
🚰 Disconnect outdoor hoses and shut off exterior spigots
🍂 Clear the gutters and check the downspouts
🚪 Look for drafts around doors and windows
🔍 Inspect exterior gaps, caulk, and trim
🏠 Check the roof and attic for damage, insulation, and airflow
Most of these take less than an hour, and all of them are easier now than in January.
📌 Save this for the weekend and tag someone who always forgets the outdoor faucets. 😅
🏡 Which one do you usually forget? Tell us in the comments.
