Prepare your home for spring and avoid claims at the same time!
Spring is in the air, and most of us are enjoying the bright flowers, warm weather, and…spring cleaning? There’s no denying that spring cleaning plays a large role in, well, spring! Blowing the winter cobwebs away and preparing your home for the spring season certain helps it to look its best. What’s more, a little home maintenance can help to prevent accidents in the home. Here are a few ways to prevent claims by spring cleaning!
Dust
When dust accumulates, the chance of fire increases. Dust build-up and stacks of papers kindle a fire, which is not ideal for any household. Make sure to rid your home of dust and paper stacks as much as possible to reduce your fire risk.
Roof Damage
Another great spring cleaning task is to clear out all of the dirt and debris that has accumulated in the gutters during the winter months. Cleaning out your home’s gutters will prevent them from getting clogged and overflowing. This is a great way to prevent water damage to your roof.
Change the Batteries
Now is the time to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, especially if they have gone longer than six months without being replaced. Ensure that these alarms are in good working order so that you can rely on them when you need them the most.
