Tips to reduce snow claims

Wow!  There was over 47 inches of snow in one week here in Philly? 
There are several things you should do to prevent claims on your home insurance.
  • Remove the snow from your decks and the roof of your garage and shed.  Snow becomes very heavy and could cause a deck, garage or shed to collapse. Remove the snow if you can do it safely.
  • Look at the trees in your yard to make sure the trees are not bent over and scraping your home due to the heavy load of snow on them.
  • Clear your walks and make sure you put some salt down. The snow melts during the day and the water can freeze at night.
  • Make sure all your outside drains and sewers are not blocked by snow.  If the snow melts this could cause a flood. 
  • If you have a fire hydrant near your home make sure that you shovel out the hydrant so the fire company can respond faster to a fire.
With more snow in the forecast it is time to be proactive to prevent losses.
It is time to shoot the ground hog!  I don’t think I can handle six more weeks of a winter like this.
