End-of-Year Home Checklist for a Worry-Free Winter
As winter weather continues across Long Island, staying vigilant about your home's condition can prevent costly emergencies and protect your property investment. Our REALTORS® suggest you check these key areas throughout the rest of the cold months to spot issues early, before they become expensive fixes.
Key Winter Checks for Homeowners
Look Out for Ice Dams on Your Roof
Ice dams form when heat from inside your home melts snow that refreezes at the edges, creating barriers that hold water. Check for icicles hanging from your gutters, ice buildup along roof edges, or water marks on the inside ceilings near outside walls. You should address ice dams right away by adding attic insulation and improving airflow, as trapped water can leak under shingles and damage walls and ceilings inside.
