Southern New England is emerging from the yearly blanket of winter’s chill and the ground is down where we look to see it.
To make sure our homes are kept safe from the elements we should first start looking up, up at the roofs and the gutter systems. Beg or borrow a pair of binoculars, stand off and carefully scan this first line of defense.
Broken or loose asphalt shingles should be replaced, fall’s lingering debris can be plugging up your gutters and downspouts. Keeping these water channels clear and efficient will protect your home’s foundation and help keep your basement dry.
