In Case of Emergency

Being a homeowner is a wonderful thing. But as with anything in life, things happen. No matter what home you purchase, know that at one point or another, something will break. Something will need to be replaced. Something will eventually go wrong. As a result, it’s best to be prepared—starting today!

Your Preparation Plan

While the temperatures have been wonderful these past few weeks, colder temperatures are returning. Start preparing your home’s pipes now for when the temperatures drop. When the temperatures fall below freezing, make sure to unhook any outside water hose from the faucet and cover the faucet heads, as well as have the faucets inside your home drip water to help prevent frozen pipes.

Does your home have gas? Then a carbon monoxide detector is a must! Since carbon monoxide is a dangerous, odorless gas, ensure you and your family are kept safe with a carbon monoxide detector, which can help to detect the gas and alarm you if found.

Particularly this time of year, between the severe weather storms and tornado warnings, your home’s roof may fall victim to damage, such as with shingles being blown from the roof and tree limbs being tossed on the roof, causing dents and patches. Therefore, it’s important to have an emergency fund set up for your home, too, should such occurrences happen.

Still, no matter what incidents may occur within your house, homeownership is still a blessing everyone should have the chance of experiencing at some point in their life. And why wait? Let’s get started today!
