We hope everybunny has a hoppy Easter! What are you doing this long weekend?
It's the first day of spring! Here are some quick outside maintenance tips to help you avoid home water damage during the upcoming melt.
• Clear snow about three to five feet away from the house foundation to prevent leaks.
• Check sidewalks, patios, decks and driveways to make sure they haven’t settled over time and are causing water to drain toward your house.
• Clear your eavestroughs of debris and if possible, help clear catch basins near your home.
• Keep water out of window sills.
• Make sure downspouts extend at least six feet from your basement wall. Water should drain away from your house and neighbouring homes toward the street, backyard or back lane.
• Use a rain barrel to catch water runoff from downspouts.

What's your favourite thing about spring in Alberta? We like birdwatching (and the occasional bit of puddlejumping, too)!
Psst - popping the question today? If you like it, then you better put a ring on it (and insure it)!
(AKA: Make sure your home/condo/renters insurance is updated to cover valuable items!)

Now that spring has sprung, it is a good time to start thinking about some valuable spring maintenance on your home. By taking the time to check your roof, gutters and foundation for leaks or debris you can prevent costly repairs down the road.
