January is National Radon Action Month! Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that seeps in through the soil and rocks under homes or buildings and poses health risks if found at dangerous levels. #Besafe
There's nothing quite like a warm fire on a cool night, but be mindful of what you're burning in the fireplace. Don't overload the fireplace; a large fire generates more smoke and can damage your chimney. #QuickTipThursday
If you already know your New Year’s Resolutions, have you added some home maintenance projects to the list? Considering that we spend about 90% of our time in our homes (or even more over the last couple of years!), it’s a great idea to invest some energy into improving them!
Living in an unclean space can be detrimental to your health.
If your cleaning efforts are unsuccessful, have your house cleaned by a professional restoration company such as PuroClean.
There's nothing quite like a warm fire on a fantastic night, but be mindful of what you're burning in the fireplace. Wrapping paper and pine boughs may seem like harmless kindling but their floating embers can easily escape your chimney and ignite your roof or a neighboring roof!
Keep calm, and winter on!
Fire hazards, water damage, and high heating costs can arise during harsh winter conditions.
Insulate windows and doors. Weatherstrip any gaps and cracks around windows and doors and caulk up the gaps that are bigger than the width of a nickel.
Unclutter your home room by room. Start with one area and use boxes to organize items by category.
Use the spaces between wall studs or under the stairs if you need extra storage space. Consider investing in extra cabinets or even shoe organizers to store household items.
The holiday season is upon us!
Holiday decorations can often lead to clutter and congestion.
By decluttering before arranging decorations, you can help ensure that your home remains organized and comfortable during the festive season.
During the holiday season, many home fires can start due to negligent use of Christmas tree decorations.
Electrical failures and candles are the main culprits of Christmas tree fires.

Be Proactive in Preventing Chimney Fires!
Half of home heating equipment fires are reported during the months of December, January, and February.

To ensure that all of your systems are working properly, it is recommended that you get an annual inspection of your chimney!
Throw plastic or vinyl shower curtains in the washing machine to remove moldy spots. Air dry or insert in the dryer on low heat. Stretch the curtain out after each shower to take off excess moisture.

As outdoor temperatures drop, people take measures to keep themselves and their loved ones warm this winter. Space heaters typically use large amounts of electricity, producing a lot of heat. Because of that, space heaters are a fire risk and must be used with caution.
