Compleat Restoration Shares a Handy Guide for Handling Blizzards
The company is an industry leader in Pennsylvania for fire and water damage restoration, mold and asbestos removal, and more.
When winter storm warnings are sent out, it’s time to take precautions. Heavy snow and wind can bring unforeseen dangers to homeowners. A smart homeowner will know what to do to keep their family and property protected. Here are some practical tips:
1. Make sure to have proper heating that will last for multiple days if needed. Purchase a backup generator or space heaters. If the house has a fireplace, stock up on wood and coal. Also, don’t forget to make sure it is cleared out and vented.
2. Properly insulate homes! If needed, caulk any spaces around doors and windows to keep out the cold air. Weatherstrips and heavy towels or blankets can work temporarily.
3. If temperatures are dropping low enough, freezing pipes can be an issue. Upon leaving, keep the heat on no lower than 55° F. Keep areas with exposed pipes somewhat insulated.
4. If one becomes trapped inside the home and the heating has gone out, close the doors to unused rooms to conserve heat. Remember to keep eating and drinking to keep body temperature high enough, and keep cell phone sufficiently charged.
5. Prepare for the flooding that follows! Double-check all gutters to ensure melted snow can drain correctly. Test the sump pump to know that it’s ready, as well.
