It may still be hot outside right now, but winter is on its way. As a savvy North Nashville home or business owner, you know it’s best to prepare for stormy weather beforehand. Debris, power outages, and standing water can create dangerous situations during winters here in Middle Tennessee. Now is the perfect time to put some preventative measures in place for your North Nashville location!

Let’s discuss ways to prevent and handle any damage you may experience.

What Important Preventative Measures Can I Take For Stormy Weather In North Nashville?

Here are some helpful tips to consider when planning your storm damage prevention: 

• Safety should be everyone’s top priority. Whether you’re considering the well-being of your loved ones or your workforce, consider these safety steps to help you ensure no one gets hurt by damages from a winter storm. If you or a loved one are over 65 years old, place an easy-to-read thermometer indoors where you will see it frequently. Our ability to feel a change in temperature decreases with age. Older adults are more susceptible to health problems caused by cold weather. Check the temperature of your home often during the winter months.
• Weatherproof your home. Insulate any water lines that run along exterior walls so your water supply will be less likely to freeze. Caulk and weather-strip doors and windows and insulate walls and attic. Install storm or thermal-pane windows or cover windows with plastic from the inside. Repair roof leaks and cut away tree branches that could fall on your home or other structure during a storm.
• Have your chimney or flue inspected yearly if you plan to use a fireplace or wood stove for emergency heating. Ask your local fire department to recommend an inspector or find one online.
• Install a smoke detector and a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector. If you use a fireplace, wood stove, or kerosene heater, install a smoke detector and a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector near the area to be heated. Test them monthly and replace batteries twice a year. Keep a multipurpose, dry-chemical fire extinguisher nearby. All fuel-burning equipment should be vented to the outside. 
• Before each winter season, have your furnace system and vent checked by a qualified technician to ensure they function correctly.
