Don't Get Snowed In By Winter! Dominate Your Home's Defense with THIS Checklist (Metro Detroit Edition)

Don't Get Snowed In By Winter! Dominate Your Home's Defense with THIS Checklist (Metro Detroit Edition)

Listen up, Metro Detroit homeowners! Old Man Winter is coming, and he's bringing a whole army of freezing temps, icy blasts, and enough snow to bury a Ford F-150. Are you ready to fight back?

Don't let your house become a casualty of winter's wrath! This isn't some passive "hope for the best" situation. We're talking about proactive, 10X defense to protect your castle (and your wallet!) from the elements.


Here's your battle plan, courtesy of your home improvement generals at Workorder Guys:

1. Seal Up Those Leaks Like Fort Knox:

  • Weatherstripping: Think of it as your home's first line of defense against icy drafts. Windows and doors are the enemy's favorite entry points, so lock 'em down tight with fresh weatherstripping.

  • Insulation:  A poorly insulated attic is like leaving the front door wide open in a blizzard. Beef up that insulation to keep the heat IN and the cold OUT. We're talking Oakland County winters here, people – don't mess around!


2. Gutter Game Strong:

  • Clean 'Em Out:  Clogged gutters are a recipe for ice dams, which can lead to roof damage and water leaks. Nobody wants that headache, especially in Macomb County where the snow piles up!

  • Downspout Direction: Make sure those downspouts are directing water AWAY from your foundation. We're looking at you, Wayne County homeowners with those basement woes!


3. Plumbing Prep That Would Make a Plumber Proud:

  • Outdoor Faucets: Disconnect those hoses and drain those faucets! Frozen pipes are a homeowner's worst nightmare, and we don't want any plumbing emergencies in Washtenaw County.

  • Pipe Insulation:  Wrap exposed pipes in insulation, especially in unheated areas like crawl spaces and garages. A little prevention goes a long way, especially in Genesee County where the temperatures plummet.


4. Heating System on Point:

  • Furnace Tune-Up:  Get that furnace inspected and serviced NOW, before the first deep freeze hits. A well-maintained furnace is a happy furnace (and a warm house!).

  • Thermostat Check:  Make sure your thermostat is working properly and programmed for optimal efficiency. Save money and stay cozy all winter long.


5. Don't Forget the Outside!

  • Landscaping Lockdown: Trim back any branches that could snap under the weight of snow and ice. Protect your home AND your landscaping.

  • Driveway Defense: Seal up any cracks in your driveway to prevent further damage from freeze-thaw cycles.


Think you can handle all that yourself? Maybe. But why risk it?
