Happy Holidays from all of us at Wick Property Maintenance! As you deck the halls and light up your homes this festive season, we're here to ensure that your holiday preparations are both merry and safe. This December, we're bringing you essential tips for holiday home safety and winter readiness—because the best holiday gift is peace of mind.

Holiday Home Safety Tips

  1. Fire Safety First: As you light candles and string up those holiday lights, make sure to check all electrical decorations for damage and avoid overloading electrical sockets. Always turn off holiday lights before going to bed or leaving the house.

  2. Christmas Tree Care: If you're putting up a real tree, keep it watered to prevent it from drying out and becoming a fire hazard. For artificial trees, ensure they are flame-retardant.

  3. Secure Decorations: Ensure all decorations are securely fastened to avoid any accidents with pets or children. Use proper ladders (not chairs!) when hanging decorations in high places.

  4. Heating System Check-Up: Before the deep chill sets in, have your heating systems checked and serviced by our professional team to avoid any cold nights without heat.

Preparing Your Home for Winter

  • Insulate to Save: Proper insulation keeps your home warm and your heating bills down. Check windows and doors for leaks and consider additional insulation if needed.

  • Gutter Cleaning: Clear your gutters and downspouts to prevent ice dams and water build-up that could lead to serious damage.

  • Emergency Kit Update: Update or create an emergency kit with essentials like batteries, water, non-perishable food, and blankets. It's always better to be prepared for winter storms.

This holiday season, while you focus on family, festivities, and fun, let us take care of your home. And remember, Wick Property Maintenance is just a call or click away, ready to assist with any emergencies or maintenance needs in the Seguin and Huntsville, Texas areas.
