As you might’ve noticed lately, winter is closing in on us fast. For all you homeowners out there, this means that you need to do a few things around your house to maintain its condition throughout the season.
One of the most important things you can do is clean out the spouting of your home. If you let leaves and other debris build up, it will create ice jams. This can result in damage to your foundation.
Another thing you can do is make sure your furnace is in good condition. This is something you should do before you have to use it to save yourself the inconvenience of it breaking down during a blizzard.
You don’t want something breaking down during a blizzard.
Finally, disconnect all the hoses from their bibs, otherwise the water in the hose will freeze and burst your pipes. Getting new pipes for your home is never cheap.
