Extreme cold weather can be hard on your home. Here are some tips to put into practice when freezing weather, snow, and ice hit.
- Check your pipes to the laundry area, people forget your washing machine pipes can also freeze! Use a hair dryer, heat lamp, electric heat tape, or a portable space heater to thaw frozen pipes that have not burst.
- Stay off your roof during freezing weather, but once the ice and snow have melted, inspect your roof for any damage.
- A chain saw can come in handy for removing broken limbs after an ice storm.
- Keep the attic well ventilated. The colder the attic, the less melting and refreezing on the roof. Keeps the attic floor well insulated to minimize the amount of heat rising through the attic from within the house.
