The winter weather can create problems for homeowners and businesses. It is important to take precautions so that you don’t find yourself with significant damage.

Here’s a cold-weather maintenance checklist to help you maintain your property during the colder months:

• Keep your pipes warm: Cold weather can lead to pipes freezing and bursting. Have your interior temperature above 55°F. 
• Keep water flowing: Water is slow to freeze while moving, so turn on your faucet to a slow drizzle. 
• Check your HVAC system: Make sure that the airflow around your furnace isn’t obstructed. This will help the heat can reach the rest of the house and also help protect your home against fires.
• Prevent ice dams: When ice freezes on your roof and prevents melting snow from draining safely, it creates an ice dam. Inspect your roof and shingles for damage to avoid this problem.
• Keep your roof clean: You can prevent ice dams by keeping your roof clean.
