Timely Tips for 2010 - February

Keep your house running like clockwork, don't forget these timely tips for home-maintenance.

1.  Check your sump pump.  Do this now, before the first spring thaws of March, when melting snow and rain showers can cause basement flooding.  To test, pour two gallons of water into the drain to raise the float and activate the motor.  It should stop running once the water level drops below the activation level.

2.  See if your gas meter is iced over.  On average, February is one of the snowiest months of the year.  According to www.Managemyhome.com, accumulated ice on the meter can cause it to malfunction and create a gas leak.  If the meter is iced over, contact your gas utility company.  (Shipping off the ice yourself can damage the unit.

 

 “Not only did RBC have great rates on insurance, but they made my recent claim easy and prompt.  After having my accident on a Friday evening, I received my claims check on Tuesday.  Not only were they prompt and easy to work with, they were very compassionate and fair.  Thank you RBC!”
