- Holiday Cleanup and Declutter: The holidays can leave a trail of decorations, wrapping paper, and forgotten boxes. Start fresh with a post-holiday decluttering session. Pack away decorations, recycle unwanted items, and create a clean slate for the new year.
- Protect Your Pipes: Freezing temperatures can wreak havoc on your plumbing. Inspect exposed pipes in your basement and crawlspaces for cracks or leaks. Consider insulating them for added protection. Additionally, unhook hoses from outdoor spigots to prevent them from freezing and bursting.
- Storm Damage Check: Winter storms can bring strong winds and heavy snowfall. Take a moment to inspect your roof and gutters for any damage caused by recent weather events. Clear away debris from gutters to prevent ice dams from forming.
- Safety First: Your home's safety is paramount. Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they're functioning properly. Replace batteries if needed.
By following these simple Kind Home Tips for January, you can enjoy a safe and comfortable winter season in your home.
