Property maintenance is required to keep yourself and the general public safe so please put forth the effort to:
• Clean up debris that may become hidden under snow creating slip and fall accidents such as advertisement flyers, plastic bags, leaves, etc.
• PLEASE clean out your gutters to allow water to flow away from your house foundation. Water that travels down your foundation can freeze and crack your basement walls creating costly repairs.
• Have a shovel and/or snowblower handy to clear all concrete surfaces. Ice melting agents are a smart item to have readily available as well.
• An annual furnace inspection should be performed so that you may have peace of mind that it is operating properly and not admitting carbon monoxide into your home.
• Change the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
• Be aware of your surroundings and help out your neighbors that are elderly or have physical limitations. Enjoy the winter months and stay safe!
