4 Projects to Take on This Month Must-do home projects to prepare for winter.

Benjamin Franklin said in 1726 that "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." He was advising Philadelphians dealing with life-threatening fires at the time, but the adage is also fitting for preparing your home for winter. There are four home insurance claims most often filed during the winter months.

Water damage from burst pipes. Almost all home insurance policies will cover damages resulting from burst pipes. The dwelling coverage should cover home repair costs, while the personal property coverage pays for damaged belongings. Now is an excellent time to review your deductibles and policy limits to ensure your coverage is up to date. Damage from ice dams on the roof. Snow melting and refreezing near the gutters or roof edge can lead to costly issues. Water seepage can cause mold and leakage, and large icicles can rip off gutters.

Damage from falling tree limbs. Ice weighs down the branches and may fall on homes, cars, fences, or even people. Your policy's dwelling coverage should cover repairs to the house, while structures coverage pays for damaged fences or sheds. Home fires. Winter storms can cause homeowners to make risky decisions that lead to preventable house fires.

If the lights go out, turn off all appliances and use flashlights instead of candles. Don't heat your home with the stove. Unplug your space heaters when you sleep and keep a 3-foot of clear space around them. Usually, your home policy covers all of this, but you should look at precisely what is and is not covered to ensure you have the coverage you need for all eventualities.

Check out our latest blog post for the 4 projects you must add to your home maintenance this month. It's less painful to take time out to prevent disaster than live through it. Besides, the paperwork after a disaster is horrendous. Nobody enjoys that!
