A few jobs in late fall can save you from the most common winter problems. Here is where to start.
Winter is hard on a property. Ice, snow and freezing rain find every weak spot. The good news is that most winter problems can be prevented with a little work before the first storm.
Clear the way for water
Clogged gutters are one of the main causes of ice dams and water damage. Make sure gutters and downspouts are clear so melting snow has somewhere to go.
Plan your snow removal
Do not wait for the first storm to find someone. Snow removal schedules fill quickly, and having a plan in place keeps driveways and walkways safe.
- Book snow removal before the season starts
- Mark driveway edges with stakes
- Keep salt or ice melt on hand for walkways
Protect what you are storing
Boats, outdoor furniture and equipment last longer when they are cleaned, dried and properly covered or shrink-wrapped before the cold sets in.
Breathe easier indoors
Heating season means your HVAC system and dryer work harder. Change filters every one to three months and have dryer vents cleaned once a year, since lint buildup is a fire risk.
