Cleaning your gutters of leaves and debris two times a year (preferably in spring and fall) can help prevent costly water damage. When your gutters are clear, you can help stop water from seeping into your roof, foundation, and more.
The "two-second" following distance rule may be okay for optimal conditions. However, during rain and other conditions that are slick and have low visibility, six seconds is a safer bet. No matter the weather, following closely is never a good idea.
When freezing temps are in the forecast, make sure you've disconnected garden hoses from your exterior faucets and covered them with a protective foam hood. You can help prevent a burst-pipe disaster before it strikes!
