Mother Nature has been busy delivering a classic New England winter this year! With more snow on the way, it’s starting to pile up out there. As you tackle your post-storm cleanup, don’t forget to clear these important areas:
Gas Meters – Prevents gas buildup and potential leaks, which can lead to dangerous situations like explosions or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Exhaust Vents (Furnace, Dryer, Water Heater, and Fireplace) – Ensures proper ventilation and prevents carbon monoxide from backing up into your home.
Roof and Overhangs – Prevents ice dams and heavy snow buildup, which can lead to roof damage or collapse.
Stairways and Entryways – Keeps access points to your home safe for visitors, deliveries and emergency responders..
Mailbox Area – Allows mail carriers to deliver without risk of slipping or injury.
Nearby Fire Hydrants – Firefighters need quick access to water in emergencies. Every second counts when fighting a fire, and a cleared hydrant could save lives.
Storm Drains and Catch Basins – Helps prevent flooding when snow melts by allowing water to drain properly.
Clearing these areas not only keeps you and your neighbors safe but also helps first responders and utility workers do their jobs effectively. Stay safe this winter! ❄️
