Protect Your Home From the Snow

We are supposed to be getting snow this weekend, so I thought I'd share some tips I found for protecting the value of your home during snow storms. Thanks to Homeinsurance.com for the article! 

Clear the snow off from around your doors and windows so that melting snow doesn’t enter your home

Make sure drains and gutters are clear of dirt and debris

Test your down spouts to make sure that they carry water far from your home so that melting snow doesn’t cause flooding issues

Clear snow mounds from around exhaust pipes and air vents on heaters, furnaces and dryers

If you leave home, do not turn off the heat as this can cause frozen pipes which can burst and flood your home
