Home Emergency Checklists

Three short checklists for the problems that tend to show up with changing weather. Each one covers what to check, what is safe to do yourself, and when to bring in a professional.

• Winter Furnace Prep Checklist: A printable fall checklist to get your furnace ready for cold weather: filter, vents, thermostat, safety checks and warning signs.
• Storm Roof Damage Checklist: What to look for after a storm, what you can safely check from the ground, and when to bring in a roofing professional.
• Frozen Pipe Prevention Checklist: Simple steps to protect pipes before a hard freeze, what to do if water stops flowing, and how to limit damage from a burst pipe.

You can also try the Home Damage Checker to work out what kind of problem you're dealing with.
