Protect your seasonal property: take these easy and inexpensive precautions:
If you close up your property for the winter – shut off the main
water supply and drain your pipes.
Don’t allow large amounts of snow to build up on roofs – to prevent
collapse, shovel off roofs.
Set thermostats to a minimum of 56 degrees and open cabinets
and closets to prevent pipes from freezing when you are away.
Maintain your heating system, it can lower heating bills and reduces the risk of losing heat when you need it most.
Install a battery powered temperature monitor that will contact you via phone if temperatures in your home fall to dangerous levels.
Ask a trusted neighbor to check the interior of your home while you are away. Delay in recognizing and stopping water or other damage can substantially increase the cost to repair your home.
