Fall is a great time to get your home ready for the upcoming winter
season. Here are a few tips to get your home in tip top shape:
1. Review your fire escape plan with your family – how to get out; where to go;
how to contact each other.
2. Have a heating professional check your heating system every year – saves
energy and money over the long run.
3. Replace your furnace filter(s) – saves $$.
4. Check your home for water leaks – plumbing; water heaters; basement walls;
roofs; windows.
5. Protect your home from frozen pipes – wrap those pipes!
6. Have a certified chimney sweep inspect and clean the flues and check your
fireplace damper – a MUST!
7. Remove bird nests from chimney flues and outdoor electrical fixtures and
remove debris from rain gutters.
8. Inspect and clean dust from the covers of your smoke and carbon monoxide
alarms (change batteries if not hard wired).
9. Make sure the caulking around doors and windows is adequate to reduce heat/
cooling loss. Check glazing for loose or missing putty or glazing compound. This
will also help reduce water damage to the windows and door frames.
10. Make sure that the caulking around your bathroom fixtures is adequate
to prevent water from seeping into the sub-flooring. Check for cracked or
missing caulk around the base of your toilet, bath tub and bathroom cabinets.
Properly sealing gaps between your bathroom fixtures and flooring material
can prevent damage.
11. Run all gas-powered lawn equipment until the fuel is gone. By doing this, you
are removing flammable liquid storage from your garage. At the same time, make
sure you aren't storing dirty, oily rags in a pile. They can ignite spontaneously!
12. Test your emergency generator.
It will be well worth your time to take a few extra moments to check potential
trouble spots in and around your home. Early detection could mean the
difference between a simple mop-up job and major construction repairs.
