The cold weather is coming, but there's still time to winterize your home, according to a recent Hometown Handyman article on Bloglovin'. Winter proofing services can help New Jersey homeowners protect against damage, weather the season in comfort, and even save on energy costs.
The author explains several winter weather risks, including bursting pipes, roof damage from snow and ice accumulation, and drafts losing interior heat. But strategic sealing, insulation upgrades, and gutter cleaning helps mitigate these hazards.
Some vital statistics on winterizing:
- "1/8 inch of ice can add 500 pounds of pressure to a roof."
- "Around 20% of a home's energy loss happens through air leaks."
