The school year is ending – Summer is finally here, and the vacation planning has been in the works for months! An exciting time for your family but before you get to packing to leave your home to spend some quality time with your family and friends – Make sure you will have worry–free time away from your home. Taking the extra time to ensure your home is safe will be well worth it in the long run.
- Check your gutters for any debris that could cause water damage.
- Secure your outdoor furniture and put away any umbrellas, pool, and outside toys.
- Turn your toilet valves OFF – and to be extra cautious turn the main water valve off to avoid water damage to your home while you are away.
- Secure your windows and doors.
- Recommendations are to unplug your TV and countertop appliances.
- Turn your ice maker OFF at the valve behind your refrigerator.
Having a checklist and following these simple steps can set your mind at ease on vacation.
