Check the Batteries in Your Smoke Detectors
This tip doesn’t occur to some people, but if you want to have the upper hand should a fire occur in your home, you need to make sure your smoke detectors are working. You don’t have to check them every day, but you should do so as often as possible and at least a few times a year. You need to know that something isn’t working before it’s too late. Don’t assume that the smoke detectors will let you know when it’s time to replace their batteries. Just go ahead and check them.
Clean Out Your Lint Traps
When you do laundry, lint from laundered items falls into the dryer’s lint trap. The trap may make you feel safe, but should the lint pile up in the trap, then it could make the inside of the dryer too hot and cause a fire. So, clean out the lint trap each and every time you use your clothes dryer, even if you think it’s not necessary
Clean Your Gutters
Clean gutters not only help your house looking good, but they also prevent the buildup of leaves, sticks, and other debris. If you ignore your gutters, pests may nest in them or water may become trapped in them and cause roof damage or water to leak into your home. Suddenly you find yourself needing professional water damage restoration.
