Living in Illinois requires homeowners to be prepared for varying weather conditions. The state's climate encompasses all four seasons, and proactive measures can prevent costly issues. Winter brings picturesque snow and cooler temperatures but also poses risks such as arctic-cold conditions, ice, and potential home damage.
Preparing a home for winter need not be daunting. Simple steps can be undertaken during weekends or spare time. A significant portion of homeowner insurance claims is due to water damage from frozen and burst pipes. To mitigate this risk, it's advisable to insulate pipes and maintain indoor temperatures at 65 degrees or higher. Additionally, knowing the location of the water shutoff valve is crucial for emergencies.
