Prevent ice dams
Ice dams
can cause
damage to your roof
and agitate pre-
existing leaks causing
water damage to your home To prevent ice dams
from forming keep gutters and downspouts clear insulate and air seal
areas of
your attic that
may allow warm air to escape and and consider installing snow and and ice slides Clean the fireplace and chimney
If you you enjoy the soft glow o of
your fireplace during
the winter be
sure it’s clean and and free of
bird’s nests and and other potential obstructions When you’re not using
it keep your flue closed all the way to prevent warm air from escaping
