The Ultimate Fall Checklist:
7 Steps to Protect Your Home This Season
With crisp autumn air rolling across the province and winter just around the corner, now is the ideal time to prep your property. Check out these essential fall maintenance steps to keep your home protected inside and out before winter arrives:
- Clear gutters and downspouts to keep water flowing away from your foundation and help prevent basement leaks.
- Inspect your roof for loose or missing shingles before winter weather arrives.
- Seal cracks and drafts around doors, windows, pipes and utility entries to keep heat in and moisture out.
- Service your heating system by replacing furnace filters, testing your thermostat and scheduling a tune-up.
- Prepare outdoor plumbing by draining hoses, shutting off outdoor water and emptying the lines to prevent frozen pipes.
- Trim nearby tree branches to reduce the risk of storm or snow damage to your home and vehicle.
- Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries as needed for reliable protection all winter.
