December + Post-Bomb Cyclone Home Maintenance Tips
1. Inspect Roof and Gutters
- Check for missing shingles, damaged flashing, and debris. Clean gutters to prevent clogs from heavy rain and falling winter debris.
2. Check for Water Damage
- Inspect basements, crawlspaces, and ceilings for leaks or water pooling caused by the cyclone. Act quickly to avoid mold or structural issues.
3. Assess Trees and Outdoor Areas
- Remove fallen branches, check for unstable trees, and clear pathways. Address any storm-related damage to fences or outdoor structures.
4. Seal Windows and Doors
- Look for drafts or water intrusion around windows and doors. Repair any damage to weatherstripping and caulking to keep heating costs down.
5. Prepare for Freezing Temperatures
- Insulate exposed pipes, ensure outdoor faucets are turned off, and have ice melt or sand on hand for icy walkways.
A little post-storm upkeep and winter prep will keep your home safe, cozy, and ready for the season!
