Fall Preparedness Tips

It’s time to start preparing your home for the winter months ahead. A little work this fall can save you a lot of energy and money. Here is a few simple tips to help you get started.

Check For Drafts

Feel for drafts around the windows and doors. A good tip is to hold a lighted candle next to the window or door. If the flame flickers, there’s most likely a draft.

Furnace Inspection

Test your furnace for leaks, check heating efficiency and change filters.

Clean The Gutters

Hire a service to clear your gutters or do it yourself. Remove leaves, nests and any debris from the gutters and check for leaks.

Be Prepared

No matter where you live or work, emergencies caused by weather, fire, wind, water and other natural or man-made disasters can strike at any time and are largely unpredictable.  The property restoration professionals at SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle, an industry-leading provider of fire and water cleanup and restoration services, reminds home and business owners that preparing in advance is the best thing you can do to help minimize a disaster’s impact on your loved ones and your property.
