Spring is coming, are you ready for the thaw?

Prevention Tips:

• Remove the snow from around the foundation of your home to a spot where it will drain away from your property.
• Ensure your outside pipes are insulated and that your indoor pipes are getting sufficient access to heat to prevent freezing.
• Know where your home’s main water shut-off valve is in the event there is a leak or a pipe bursts.
• Extend your downspouts and make sure your eaves and window wells are clean of debris.
• Check the grading around your home to ensure water runs away from your foundation.
• Check your sump pump to see if it is working and consider installing a backwater valve as additional security.
• Check your foundation for cracks and fill them with suitable material to prevent water from entering.
• Check your basement regularly for dampness and other signs of water.
• Check your roof to ensure that there are no missing or worn shingles.

Thank you.
