Prepare Your Home for the Winter
Seasonal maintenance is a great way to keep you home up to date and safe. Maintenance is especially important if you’re trying to sell your home. Potential home buyers will appreciate a home that is clean, looks nice and is in great condition. If you’re trying to sell your home this winter, Wharton Law has some winter home maintenance tips to keep your home at its best.
Add Extra Insulation
Keeping your home warm in the winter is essential, especially if you have potential buyers visiting your home. A great way to keep your home warm and reduce your energy bills is by installing insulation. Your home most likely already has some insulation, but replacing old insulation and adding extra during the winter months can have a great impact on your interiors. Don’t forget to add foam insulation to your pipes in order to prevent them from freezing.
Take Care of Your Gutters
The winter months can mean harsh weather and unpleasant storms. To avoid damages to your home from the storms, take some time to clean out your gutters and downspouts. Pull up a ladder and remove debris from your gutters. Run some water through them in order to ensure there are no clogs. Clogged gutters and downspouts can cause your gutters to become too heavy and break off your roof. This will cause damage to your roof and can cause problems for your foundation and exteriors as water pools near your home instead of being pushed away.
Clean Out Your Fireplace
Amenities in your home should be clean and ready for use during home visits. The winter is the perfect time to show off your home’s fireplace and the cozy environment it provides. In order to ensure it’s ready for use, hire a professional service that can take care of your chimney and fireplace. Ashes, soot and smoke stains should all be removed and a deep cleaning should be performed in order to avoid potential hazards.
