Hello November!
November is a good time to “batten down the hatches” as they say and prepare for the oncoming onslaught of Winter.
In your home, it’s a good time to seal all of the possible openings between your interior and harsh cold coming in from the exterior.
Cleaning your chimney before winter will help to prevent soot from coming inside your house rather than going up and out! A professional chimney sweep is needed for this important job – and be sure the chimney flue is opened all of the way!
Clearing rain gutters will help to prevent rain from backing up and spilling over to inside your house rather than spilling out at the base of the house and away from it. Water inside the walls can create mold and rot which is an entirely large problem and endeavor to clean up.
Sealing the bottom of doors and windows can help reduce heat leakage by 30%. Heating our interiors is a must to stay healthy yet it is also expensive. Heating leakage from cracks under doors and windows can be avoidable and will help to reduce expenditures for home heating.
Turning off the water supply to hoses and pools will prevent freezing and help to prevent the problems that can come of these. If you must maintain a pool, there is an anti-freezing mechanism that will run the water when freezing temperatures have been reached which helps to prevent the pipes from freezing.
Garden hoses and patio furniture need to be brought inside and winterized!
Are you ready for winter?
Why don’t you choose a home that is close to your children’s school and close to work so that you don’t have to make that early morning trek to the office in winter boots very lengthy. We can help you find a house and/or apartment to rent that is close to your children’s school and near your office so that winter is enjoyed rather than endured!
