🌷 Spring Cleaning: Is your home ready for the Spring?
We all know Utah spring weather is a rollercoaster—one day it’s 70 degrees, the next it’s a 30! While you’re airing out the house and dusting the baseboards, don't forget the maintenance that protects your home from costly insurance claims!
Here are some "Insurance-First" Spring Cleaning tips for the Wasatch Front:
The "Gutter Check": Even though we didn’t have heavy winter snow in most areas, ice dams could have formed & they can pull gutters away from your roof. Check the gutters, re-secure any loose ones, and definitely clean them out now so those heavy April rain showers don't end up in your basement. Water backup is one of the most common (and expensive) home claims!
Tumbleweed & Debris Perimeter: High winds in areas like Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs can pile up dry brush against your siding. Clear a 5-foot "fuel-free" zone around your home to reduce fire risk as things dry out.
Check Your Sump Pump: Some areas have high water tables, and with the mountain runoff starting, make sure your sump pump is actually humming. Test it now before the ground gets saturated! 🔧
The "Roof Scan": Go outside & look for missing shingles or flashing damaged by winter storms. Catching a small leak now prevents a major interior claim later.
