The Best Shortcut to Getting Assistance During the Holiday Season

The combination of Winter weather and overuse during the holidays is usually a cause for untimely breakdowns of functional parts of your home. December is too busy of a month to drop everything and try your own handiwork. Imagine how nice it would be to get budget-friendly assistance at the press of a button!

How the Holidays Can Go Wrong

It’s convenient to have local help because a lot of essential objects in your home are vulnerable in December. Be on the lookout for these things:

• Garbage disposals are vulnerable during the holidays because of overuse and cold temperatures.
• Toilets often break down because the tanks freeze up.
• Sometimes, you don’t notice a broken windowpane until you feel the harsh draft when it’s cold out.
• You don’t want unsightly walls when guests are over, but paint peels when it gets cold.
• Washing machines in uninsulated rooms are also prone to breakdown in cool weather.
• Winter’s low humidity levels can cause the burners on your stove to weaken or flame up.
• Boilers lose function when they lose pressure, have a faulty pipe, or a worn ignition burner.
• Ice dams lead to clogged gutters.
• When ice expands, your pipes may burst.
• Snow’s moisture on your exterior can cause wood rot, which is inviting to termites.
• Fluctuating temperatures can crack vinyl siding and chimneys.
• Excessive shoveling can chip your front steps.
• Moisture from snow and utilities can encourage mold growth on your roof, attic, and walls.
• Harsh winter winds, ice, and temperature can damage your shingles in various ways.
• The hose in the sump pump can freeze and cause flooding.
• Dry air can crack your plaster walls.
