Winter in Greater Montreal brings cold temperatures, snow, and ice that can challenge even well‑maintained homes. Preparing your property with a focused winter maintenance plan not only improves comfort but also helps prevent costly repairs later in the season.
Key Winter Maintenance Tasks
- Protect Pipes from Freezing – Insulate exposed pipes and keep indoor temperatures steady to reduce freeze risk.
- Clean and Check Gutters – Clear debris before heavy snow and check that downspouts divert water away from your foundation.
- Inspect Roof and Flashing – Snow and ice can expose vulnerabilities. Look for signs of damage and consider professional inspection if needed.
- Seal Drafts and Insulate – Check doors, windows, and attic spaces for air leaks and add insulation where necessary.
- Check Heating System – Ensure your furnace or heat pump is serviced and running efficiently to maintain comfort and reduce costs.
Maintaining your home this winter improves energy efficiency, protects structural elements, and can enhance resale appeal by demonstrating care and proactive upkeep.
