The storm that dumped over a foot of snow on Long Island over the weekend should be a reminder to everyone of the importance of winterizing the home. Winterizing your home ensures the safety of you and your family and the structural integrity of your home.
- If your gutter is not free of debris, it can become clogged and will fill with water. This will lead to the formation of solid ice that may be heavy enough to rip your gutter off the house. This could cause serious damage to the gutter and injure anyone walking underneath.
- When the weather warms up water can cascade over the gutter and penetrate the foundation, causing ancillary damage to the foundation.
-
Water pouring over the gutter can also lead to ice formation causing someone to slip and fall.
Leaf protection using Alcoa Leaf Relief™ products protects your gutters from clogging and saves your time and money when it comes to winterizing your house.

With all the rain this year, chances are you have begun to notice water spots appearing on some ceilings around your home. Perhaps you also have a stronger than usual musty odor wafting up from the basement and have made a mental note to look into purchasing a dehumidifier next year.
