With all that in mind, our business is here to help you find ways to winterize your home and thrive.

Check For Leaks

Drafts in the winter are no fun. It can be bone-chilling when you unexpectedly feel that cold air flowing into your home. So the first thing you want to do is check all of your windows and doorways for leaks.

It may be as simple as seeing visible gaps or more time-consuming, like feeling for the draft itself. Depending on the severity of the leak, you may need to completely replace the weatherstripping or the entire window or door.

Maintain Your Heating/Cooling System

Having proper heating and cooling is very important to have all year long. But when these heating and cooling systems fail during tough seasons, that's when you start to feel survival instincts kick in. This is proven all the more important during the winter season.

If you're able, have your furnace and other HVAC systems inspected to check for damages or other issues that would prevent general comfort in the winter. These inspections should happen well before wintertime so that you can practically guarantee proper working conditions when you need them.

Stock Up

No matter what the extreme weather conditions are, you need to have the right supplies on hand to ensure your overall comfort and survival. There's nothing worse than getting snowed in without enough food or water.

Before winter hits, take inventory of what you have in your home. When you need to replenish, make sure to get enough drinking water for you and your family, non-perishable food items, and proper clothes to stay warm.

Pressure Wash Your Property While It Is Warm

With the deep cold we get in Illinois, we can't pressure wash all parts of your property during the coldest parts of the winter. Whether it is early in the fall or early in the spring, make sure to schedule your pressure washing to make sure your property is looking its best.
