Rumour has it that winter is approaching - does your property have what it takes to confront the cold winter winds, ravaging ice and freezing temperatures ahead?
CAA North & East Ontario is here to equip Ontarians with expert tips to help you safeguard your home this year.
1. Winterize Your House AND Property
First things first. Put away that outdoor furniture and clear out your garage! Get rid of the things you don’t need and store the stuff that matters most at PODS.
PODS has you covered this winter too - CAA Members SAVE 10% on storage fees at a participating PODS Storage Centre.
Frigid temperatures and snow can affect a cluster of different areas inside and outside of the house. Be sure to clean out gutters, drain sprinklers, turn off outside faucets, insulate pipes, block drafts, and inspect doors and windows for leaks.
Preventing door locks from freezing is guaranteed to save you from a troubling situation in the long run. If you have a fireplace and chimney, clean them. While you’re at it, check your furnace to see if it needs a replacement filter.

Don’t forget about your greenery! Speaking of which; did you know that clearing the fallen leaves from your lawn before the snow hits actually helps grass bounce back much quicker in the spring? Most importantly, it prevents the buildup of worrisome pests, brown patches and snow mold. Don’t wait until it’s too late - pull out your rake and start clearing those leaves, inspect tree branches, mulch flower beds, and cut back grass and perennials too!
