Tip of the Week

They can cause water to seep into your house and create a mess.Don't leave an attached garage door open. The draft in winter can lower your home's temperature and freeze pipes. Know the location of the water shutoff valve of your house, in case you need to turn it off in an emergency.Drain you water system to keep pipes from freezing, if you plan to be away for a long time in the winter.Check your home insurance policy.
