Nevertheless, there are a number of things you can do to help prevent accidents or damage from occurring including:
- Clean all dryer filters regularly.
- Change your furnace filters per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Make sure you know where your water shut-off valve is.
- Check your foundation annually for cracks.
- Trim trees that are too close to your home.
- Place smoke detectors in every bedroom and replace batteries annually.
- Install a home security system.
- Keep all home cleaning products and disinfectants out of children’s reach.
- Properly dispose of all used oily rags and combustible materials.
- Keep all tools and lawn equipment stored away from children
- Make sure all your guns and ammo are in a locked cabinet.
- Review your electric panel and make sure you know what each circuit controls.
