Windows, Doors, plumbing

Water piping
The extreme cold condition can freeze pipes and cause it to burst due to changes in weather. To prevent l always make sure to close taps lined heading outside such as waterline to the garden or the front yard. Ensure your home is always heated. Caulk up holes and cracks in your walls, and call a plumber immediately pipes freeze and water stops flowing from faucets.
Gutters
Unclogging gutters before the season hits to make sure drains are clear when snow melts. Blocked gutters can destroy your roof and extreme colder weather can build up icicles weighing down the gutters and causing tension on the roof.
