As leaves change color and the crisp fall air sets in, it’s time to start thinking about what you can do to prepare your home for the winter. Like a car needs maintenance, so does your home! Here are three things you can do to get ahead and ensure your home is ready to face the cold months ahead:
- Get your Heating System Serviced
This is a simple job that can prevent freezing pipes. It will also lower your energy bills by maximizing your heating system’s performance!
- Drain Cleaning
Getting drains cleaned is essential to prepare for cold months. This can help prevent frozen pipes, frozen septic systems, and other issues that can occur in cold weather.
- Clean Gutters
With leaves falling, now is the perfect time to clean out your gutters. Clogged gutters can lead to water damage and, eventually, ice dam formation. When gutters are clear, melting snow and rain can freely flow.
By taking these few steps, you can help ensure your home is ready for winter. Need help with any of these tasks or other home preparations? Upkeep by McDonald Construction is here to help. Visit us to see all our services to help keep your home in top shape year-round!
