This press release was orginally distributed by ReleaseWire

Trappe, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/16/2024 -- As the cold weather sets in, Kelly Insurance Group is encouraging homeowners in Collegeville, Limerick, Royersford, Skippack, Phoenixville, and the surrounding areas to take preventative measures against common winter hazards. Preparing your home now can help avoid costly repairs and insurance claims later in the season.

Essential Winter Safety Tips for Homeowners:

1. Inspect Your Roof and Gutters: Make sure your roof is in good condition before the snow starts. Clean gutters and downspouts to prevent ice dams, which can cause water damage inside your home.
2. Prevent Frozen Pipes: Insulate pipes in unheated areas like basements, garages, and crawl spaces. Let faucets drip during freezing weather to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting.
3. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors: With increased use of heating systems, it's critical to ensure that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly to protect your family from fire and gas leaks.
4. Check Heating Systems: Schedule a professional inspection of your furnace or heating system to make sure it's operating efficiently and safely. Keep flammable materials away from heat sources.
5. Stock Up on Emergency Supplies: Prepare for power outages and emergencies by having flashlights, batteries, bottled water, blankets, and a first-aid kit on hand.

In addition to these safety precautions, homeowners should review their insurance policies to ensure they have the proper coverage for winter-related issues such as water damage, roof leaks, and power issues.

Taking small steps now can prevent major headaches later. Kelly Insurance Group is available to help homeowners in the community prepare for winter by ensuring their homes are protected with the right insurance coverage.
