Whew! It is CHILLY outside!
A few tips and reminders to ensure everything stays cozy and secure...
When weather is snowy- keep rock salt of de-icer on hand to sprinkle by walkways and vehicles outside, we will scrape and salt the driveways of complexes. It your faucet is near an exterior wall, keep the cabinet door ajar to prevent freeze over inside. Drafts can be reduced by putting alien tape around doorways, ad or shrink wrap around windows if you are in an older house, and rolled towels are great draft deterrents under doors. Make sure your windows are locked all the way. This is the best way to ensure a good seal, and reduce utility costs.
If you travel, keep that thermostat set to at least 65 degrees to avoid frozen pipes, and notify the office so we can check the property.
DO NOT pour hot water on your windshield to remove ice and snow. You may shatter your windscreen!
Also note that, during colder weather, small animals, insects etc. may try to come inside. The vest way to keep them at bay is to leave them no place to nest. Remove all boxes, soda cans, empty jugs, etc. Do not leave things piled in corners, and take trash out regularly. Let's work together to ensure a clean, safe, pest free environment.
And most importantly, if you notice anything that sparks, drips smokes, call the office at once! 573-341-2444
