Bath Remodels from recent times....

I am sure that folks have received a gazillion messages about the upcoming cold weather and that you need to winterize.

Here's one more... A little more comprehensive.

1. Keep the temperatures in every livable space (including unfinished basements & rooms) above 40F

2. Keep the window treatments down or closed. Somehow seal the windows and doors. We mention to all customers that, exterior door seals should be stretched out every change of season along with your HVAC filter changes.

3. Make sure gutters and downspouts are clean. A lot of folks forget about this! Water held in them, when frozen will expand and damage them.

4. Any roof leaks will probably get worse if water is getting inside the cracks. Same reason... water expands when frozen.

5. Make sure you have new filters in the HVAC system and the unit is serviced frequently based on the age of the system every year or two years.

6. Have an emergency plan in place. Know where the main cut off valve to the home or business is. A lot of our customers do not know where their cutoffs for winterizing and the water mains are. Feel free to call us if you need help locating.

7. Prepare for a power outage. Recommend keeping the fireplace ready or running.

8. If out of town, have a backup plan. We always tell folks to turn the water main off before they go out of town to prevent walking back in to a disaster when you return (regardless of the weather).

9. In most cases, running the water at taps is just a waste of water. Cabinets on exterior walls, keep the cabinet doors open to to prevent pipes from freezing instead.

We would hate to come out to help you in case of water damage due to pipe bursts. So let's work on prevention.
