How to Prevent Damage to your Home

1/14/2020 (Permalink)

The winter of 2020 is upon us and planning ahead could prevent damage to your house and having to call SERVPRO of East Portland. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends taking the following steps to protect your most valuable asset:

  • Insulate any water lines that run along exterior walls so your water supply will be less likely to freeze.
  • Caulk and weather-strip doors and windows.
  • Insulate walls and attic.
  • Install storm or thermal pane windows or cover windows with plastic from
    the inside.
  • Repair roof leaks and cut away tree branches that could fall on your home
    or other structures during a storm.

Snow, ice and freezing temperatures all have the potential to cause you to have to file an insurance claim. Taking some precautionary measures today can save you time and money later.
