As the leaves start to pile up many Northern Michigan home owners pack their bags to head south for the season. While escaping the cold is a well deserved luxury, its important to remember your home doesnt take a vacation.

Exteneded periods of vacancy can leave even the most well-maintained properties vulnerable to harsh winter conditions. Frozen pipes, ice dams, power outages and storm damage can escalate quickly, often long before anyone is aware there is a problem.

Why Winter Watch Matters More Than You Think

Without someone local to check in regularly, small issues can grow into major damage before anyone even notices.

Frozen pipes can burst overnight
Ice dams can cause hidden roof leaks
Power outages can leave heating systems down for hours
Heavy snow can lead to structrual stress or blocked entryways
