Snow falling to the ground.

Every year, winter weather can lead to frozen and burst pipes, ice dams, power outages and other damages that can result in very costly and disruptive claims. By taking proactive steps today you can help prevent a loss before it can occur & give yourself peace of mind.

1. Remove any snow with a roof rake.

2. Install gutter guards to prevent debris interfering with draining water away from the house and into the ground.

3. Install heating cables with thermostatic control for your gutters. Turn them on during freezing weather so the water drains away from your home.

4. Trim trees and remove any dead branches, Ice, snow and wind could cause weak trees of branches to break and cause damage to your property or injure someone.

5. Turn off exterior faucets from the inside of your home and drain the remaining water from the pipes to prevent exterior faucets from freezing.
