Prepare Your Home for Winter Whether

Tips For Preparing Your Home for Winter Weather

Keep Cabinets doors open during cold spells. This allows warm air to circulate around pipes.
Keep a slow trickle of water flowing through faucets, especially if the pipes for faucets run through unheated or or uninsulated areas of your home.
Consider shutting off outdoor faucets. Find the shut off valve in the basement or crawl space and turn it to "off."
If you follow the previous steps, then open the outdoor faucet to help ensure it drains completely and the inner valve is shut off.
Ensure gutters are clean and secure. Leaves and debris accumulate, causing a damming effect on gutters, which could lead to roof problems and water damage.
Proper maintenance of your furnace can help reduce the risk of puffbacks.
