Spring tips for caring for your home:

• Shut down and clean furnace humidifier, and close the furnace humidifier damper on units with central air conditioning.
• Turn OFF gas furnace and fireplace pilot lights where possible.
• Open valve to outside hose connection after all danger of frost has passed.
• Ensure sump pump is operating properly before the spring thaw sets in. Ensure discharge pipe is connected and allows water to drain away from the foundation.
• Check eaves troughs and downspouts for loose joints and secure attachment to your home, clear any obstructions, and ensure water flows away from your foundation.
• Clear all drainage ditches and culverts of debris.
