Leaks

  • Inspect the attic, the basement, and the exterior of your house during a heavy rain to watch for leaks.

Foundation

  • Make sure the soil around the house is graded away from the foundation.

Gutters

  • Keep gutters clean.

Garage

  • Keep sharp lawn and gardening equipment out of the reach of children and fastened securely to the wall.
  • Gas, oil, anti-freeze, pesticides and other poisons should be kept on a high shelf or in a locked cabinet to protect children.
  • Shelving units should be securely fastened to the wall to avoid tipping.
  • Do not leave rags/towels used to clean-up fuel spills in a pile in the garage as these can be a fire hazard.
