Winter conditions can be harsh and damaging to property if proper care is not taken. Investing in making your home ready for the winter seasons can help you avoid expensive repairs. In this guide, we’ll provide a few tips to help you protect your house during those harsh winter months.

Assess the Drainage and Gutter System

Rainfall often increases in winter seasons, and properly maintaining gutters and drainage can help you avoid costly repairs or money spent replacing damaged systems. Clogged gutters can be difficult to clean and they can cause water to overflow and damage the roof. Keeping your gutters clean by hiring professionals to review them for any drainage issues. Also make sure to check areas such as the attic and basement for mildew or signs of water damage. If you notice signs of damage, it may mean that your drainage system is not functioning properly; this can be the case for older properties. Water may have gotten into the foundation of the house and this can lead to dampness in the attic or basement.

Inspect Your Furnace

Regularly checking and cleaning your furnace is very important. Furnaces should be replaced if they are not working properly and it’s important that these are checked and installed by professionals who can also take time to clean the air ducts. In addition, be sure to regularly change furnace filters to make sure that the system remains fully functional.

Cover The Floors

If your home has bare floors, you should definitely think about covering them. Tile, wood, and laminate floors can lose heat during the harsh winter seasons. Cover these types of flooring with carpet or rugs in order to prevent heat loss and to keep your feet warm!

Be Ready For Rain Or Snow

Prevent Clogging.

Winter weather can often be difficult, but especially so when it rains or snows. Be ready for these types of situations by ensuring there are no drainage issues and that all exposed pipes in the basement and attic are insulated. Condensation can lead to mildew; you can prevent this by insulating your ceiling and walls properly. Keeping your gutters clean is another important task and you should keep it free from snow, ice, debris to prevent clogging.

Have The Right Tools

Having the right supplies or tools to remove ice from areas of your home including the driveway or walkways is important, so make sure to always keep them on hand.
