Enjoy longer days and warmer nights while protecting your investment

Your home is one of your most important possessions. By keeping it properly maintained, you can reduce the risk of a loss. Please take a moment to review these important safety tips.

• Check deck or patio for possible deterioration and safety hazards such as loose boards and protruding nails.

• Check all window and door locks to ensure correct functioning. Make sure all locks are secure and there are no holes in any of the screens.

• Inspect recreational equipment for proper operation and possible dangers (e.g., Are swing sets secure, and do they contain any rusty bolts?).

• Carefully inspect your toilet. Look for the erosion of plastic floater valves, and check all pipe connections.

• Inspect washing machine hoses periodically, and replace hoses that show signs of wear or leakage.
