As Licking County residents, or Ohio residents in general, we are all very aware of the nasty storms that can blow in during the colder winter months. At the present you have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful fall days, possibly with friends and family, drinking apple cider and carving pumpkins. Another opportunity that this mild weather brings is to give your home or office a good thorough once over to ensure it is winter storm ready.

SERVPRO of Licking County has compiled a short and sweet generalized list of items to bring attention to or add to your winterizing check list:

1. Insulate any water lines that may run along exterior walls to prevent freezing.
2. Re-caulk or replace weather-stripping around doors and windows (keep heat in and storm moisture out).
3. Insulate your attic or check the insulation for worn out spots.
4. Check your roof for any worn or weak spots and holes. Repair if necessary.
5. Assess the condition of your landscaping (trees, shrubs, etc…) and cut away any branches that may be weak and could pose a danger should a storm bring a strong breeze.
