CHECK F OR RADON IN Y OUR BAS EMENT
If you use your basement frequently then it is
best to get it checked for the presence of any
radioactive gas. Your basement is the one area
in your home which has the maximum probability
of having radon. Radon is behind 21,000 lung
cancer deaths (approx.) per year as per EPA
reports. Buy some affordable radon testing kits
which are available in the market to check for
radon and make your home a safe place for living.

BE CAREF UL WHIL E RAKING Y OUR ROOF
There is always a risk of damaging the roof tiles
while raking your roof to clean up the snow. In
order to cut down on the ice build up, you have
to be extremely careful and it is better to
leave a thin layer of ice on the roof rather
than trying to clean up everything. Ice dams can
cause insulation problems but you should find
out the root cause than scraping your roof all
the time.

CHECK Y OUR CHIMNEY
If you are planning to move into a new house or
sell your house, it is best to check the chimney
for any major repair. Check if your chimney has
a clay liner, as in most cases it will turn out
to be cracked. Having a cracked chimney isn't a
good idea while selling and hence make sure to
repair it.
5
GET AN ENERGY AUDIT DONE
An energy audit for your home is not a bad idea
as it will let you know about the problem areas
of your home. You may have to look after the
insulation of the home if the report actually
shows any negative sign. It is always better to
know any underlying problems even if you are
moving into a new house.
6
CHECK WINDOW CAS ING
Your windows can be made of one or more glass
pane but it can't hold heat if it is not sealed
properly. So check your window casing and call
the professionals to make any adjustments if
required. You can also try caulking which is an
effective DIY method.
