Your home is where so many of the big events in life are celebrated. It is also one of the largest investments you will ever make. Protecting it from all the hazards that can damage it is essential. Winter offers some unique challenges to homeowners. Having home insurance you can count on is a challenge that transcends the seasons. If you live in or near Plainfield, IN, Gill Insurance Agency believes in tailoring your insurance coverage to your particular needs. With access to a wide selection of carriers, we can make sure you get what you need at the best price.
Clean your gutters
As fall fades away, the residue of the season often lingers in your gutters and downspouts. Leaves can clog the gutters resulting in water backing up when you get heavy rain. Water backup can result in damage to not only your roof but the interior ceiling and walls.
Chimney check-up
Using your fireplace is a sure sign winter is on the way but don’t enjoy your first fire until you have had your masonry checked and your chimney cleaned. While you are waiting for the chimney sweep to arrive, you can get the wood ready for all those cozy evenings.
Change batteries
Being closed in for months makes it important to check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Especially if your home is sealed up nice and tight, carbon monoxide becomes an even greater danger.
Plug the leaks
It’s time to check all those little breezes that blow through your home from leaks around doors and windows. A little caulk and weatherstripping can keep the heat in and not leaking out.
