Getting ready for winter includes taking steps to make sure that your home will be safe from any weather-related damage. Wintry weather in the greater Elmer, NJ area consists of the possibility of high winds, ice storms, sleet, and snow. All of these factors can lead to circumstances where your home is damaged. A little work before winter sets in can help to prevent damage to your home, and Sloan Insurance Agency is here to help you get ready.

Make Sure Your Home Is Protected and Ready for Winter

Icy branches can wreak havoc and cause a lot of damage when trees aren’t properly maintained. Tree branches should be kept trimmed, and any weak or broken branches should be removed before winter hits. If you have large trees on your property, any damage that flying or downed branches cause can become your liability. With just a few hours before the heavy weather arrives, you can make sure that icy branches won’t be a problem. 

When branches are covered in ice or snow, there is a good chance that they will snap off of the tree. When this occurs during storms with high winds, it’s almost inevitable that these projectiles cause damage. Proper tree maintenance can prevent this situation from happening and leave your home untouched during winter storms. Make sure that your tree branches are trimmed, and trees near your home and your neighbors are adequately maintained. Any dead or severely damaged trees should be removed.
