\n<\/span><\/strong>Ice is one of the most common causes of winter accidents for your family, guests and clients. Slips and trips can be from icy walkways, uneven stairs, broken stones, cracked pathways, and poor lighting.<\/p>\n\n
\nCommon occurrences leading to property claims are falling trees and branches due to severe winds and heavy snow fall; burst pipes caused by low temperatures; and house fires. If you\u2019ve noticed gaps in your foundation or on the brick exterior of your house, immediately contact an expert for\u00a0foundation repair Denton<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
\nKeeping yourself free from injury is also a way to avoid a winter disaster. Incurring an injury and not being able to work, along with any medical bills, can drain you financially. So when working around your home, please follow these suggestions.<\/p>\n\n
\ninspect your roof for any damage, or look it over from on the ground using binoculars.<\/li>\n
\nWinter is also a good time to sit down with your insurance agent and go over your homeowner\u2019s policy. With this being the time of year with greater risk for accidents and property damage, you\u2019ll want to make sure you and your family are covered adequately.<\/p>\n
