It’s the most wonderful time of the year, at least that’s what they say. However, if your home is not prepared for the winter months, then the holiday season can be a nightmare.
Protecting your home with quality home insurance coverage is one of the best ways you can keep you, your home, and your loved ones safeguarded during those harsh winter months.
In addition to good home insurance coverage, there are some things that you can do to prevent catastrophic damage to your home and keep your property protected.
Here are a few tips for preparing your home for winter to avoid home insurance claims:
- Check your home insurance policy so you’re up-to-date on what your policy includes and what it does not.
- Seal holes around your cables to stop cold air and/or water from seeping in.
- Clear your gutters to prevent flooding and water damage.
- Insulate your pipes in the colder areas of your home to stop pipes from freezing, bursting, and flooding your home.
- Cut back your trees to ensure that strong winds don’t cause branches to fall on your property or your neighbors.
- Keep your central heating on at all times to reduce the chance of burst pipes.
- Get your boiler checked before winter to prevent fire hazards and carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Leave your loft hatch ajar to reduce the risks of frozen pipes, water tanks, and/or frost damage.
