As a homeowner, one of the highest priorities is to keep your home damage-free and any surrounding land you own hazard-free. Sometimes though you can’t keep an eye on your house or anything possibly dangerous around it, so incidents may occur where some external or internal damage may happen and you would need homeowner insurance to help you out. You should not only make sure the inside of your home is free from danger but the outside too. Here are a few tips on how to avoid some potential dangers that could damage your home.
Outside of Your Home
If you have any trees surrounding your house, a storm could roll through and unfortunately, the tree could fall onto parts of the house. To prevent this, try to keep a watch on them and trim any trees that grow a little out of control. Be cautious during heavy winds if the tree is swaying. Watch that branches don’t break off and land in your yard or on your roof. Be sure to clean up any branches as soon as you can and if you do have damage, be sure to call your insurance agent right away to submit a claim.
Inside of Your House
As we get into the colder months, you want to make sure all of your doors and windows are shut tight to resist the weather and keep the cold air and leaks out. Nothing is worse than walking into your house and realizing you left a window open through a heavy rain or snowfall!
