You may be ready for winter, but is your home?
CMHC recently suggested that homeowners take the following steps to "help avoid the most common & costly problems before they occur."
Homeowners need to clean out eaves troughs & spouts from debris like leaves - making sure that water will flow where it is intended to - away from the home's foundation.
Now is the time to get non-electric heating systems serviced, before the cold sets in - along with the busy season. Also check chimneys and combustion vents for debris.
