Winter is an especially difficult time for your property
Your Home NEEDS to be PREPARED.
The elements are a difficult thing to combat. For millions of years, people have had their lives dictated by what the weather will bring. Your home is no different.
Hot and cold weather present different risks for property damage. Hot weather wears on your exterior, but cold weather can bring heavy snow that can place crushing pressure on a roof, parts of your siding, windows, etc.
While summer and spring bring their own risks, the fall leading up until winter can be especially difficult on your home and vehicles.
At Oliwill Construction, we offer flexible financing options; let’s jump-start your project while comfortably spreading the financial impact.
Water and Roof Maintenance
- Clean gutters: Remove leaves and debris so melting snow and ice can flow freely, which prevents destructive ice dams.
- Extend downspouts: Direct water at least 3 to 4 feet away from your foundation to prevent basement leaks when snow melts.
- Inspect roof shingles: Look for loose, cracked, or missing shingles and repair them before heavy snow arrives.
Plumbing and Yard Protection
- Disconnect hoses: Take off all garden hoses from outdoor spigots.
- Shut off exterior water: Close the indoor shut-off valve for your outside faucets if your home has one, then open the outdoor spigot to drain remaining water.
- Cover faucets: Install insulated foam covers over outdoor spigots for extra protection.
- Store outdoor items: Put away patio furniture, decorative items, and grills, or cover them securely.
- Trim tree branches: Cut back dead or heavy tree limbs hanging near your roof or power lines to prevent storm damage.
Sealing and Energy Saving
- Caulk and seal gaps: Use exterior-grade caulk around window frames, door trims, and where pipes or vents enter the house.
- Check weather stripping: Replace worn rubber seals around exterior doors and garage doors to block cold drafts.
- Install storm windows: Put up glass storm windows if your home uses removable seasonal panels.
