Many people are unprepared for the quickly approaching winter season and the winter storms that bring frigid temperatures along with ice and snow.  SERVPRO of Sarpy County recommends having a winter checklist for your home or business to help prevent water damage from winter storms.

Here are a few items to consider:

• Put weather stripping on doors and windows to prevent heat from escaping and cold air from entering.
• Insulate water pipes to help prevent them from freezing and possibly bursting.
• Check your roof for possible leaks and loose or broken shingles.
• Keep space heaters at least three feet from anything flammable.
• Trim tree limbs that are close to the house.
• Clean gutters.
• Stock up on ice melt.
