Winter months may bring their share of problems. The winter weather can still create problems for homeowners and businesses. It is important to take precautions so that you don’t find yourself with significant structural damage.

Here’s a cold-weather maintenance checklist to help you maintain your property during the colder months:

1. Keep your pipes warm 

Cold weather can lead to pipes freezing and bursting. To keep your piping accurate have your interior temperature above 55°F. 

2. Keep water flowing

Water is slow to freeze while moving, so turn on your faucet to a slow drizzle. 

3. Check your HVAC system

Make sure that the airflow around your furnace isn’t obstructed. This will help the heat can reach the rest of the house and also help protect your home against fires.

4. Prevent ice dams

When ice freezes on your roof and prevents melting snow from draining safely, it creates an ice dam. Left untreated, ice dams harm your roof and can lead to water damage. Take time to inspect your roof and shingles for damage to avoid worse problems down the line.

5. Keep your roof clean

You can prevent ice dams by keeping your roof clean. If an ice dam has already formed, call a professional removal service.
