Protecting Your Property
During the Spooky Season
As October rolls in, so does the excitement of Halloween and the spooky season. While we all love to decorate our homes, carve pumpkins, and enjoy the eerie ambiance, it's essential to ensure that your property remains safe and secure during this festive time. To help you protect your investment, Hillis Adjustment Agency is here with some valuable tips to keep your home safe and sound throughout the spooky season.
Inspect Your Property: Before you begin decorating, take a walk around your property to check for any pre-existing damage or potential hazards. Look for loose roofing materials, damaged siding, or weakened tree branches. Address these issues promptly to prevent accidents during the Halloween festivities. If you have any damage call Hillis for a free consultation.
Secure Decorations Safely: When setting up decorations, make sure they are secure and won't become hazards. Avoid blocking pathways, stairs, or exits, as this can pose a safety risk for both you and your guests. Keep electrical cords out of high-traffic areas to prevent tripping. Do NOT affix decorations directly to siding or gutters.
Fire Safety: Halloween often involves candles, lanterns, and other open flames. Ensure that all flames are well-contained and never leave them unattended. Consider using LED candles and battery-operated lights as safer alternatives for your decorations.
Outdoor Lighting: Proper outdoor lighting can enhance the spooky ambiance while keeping your property safe. Ensure that walkways, driveways, and entrances are well-lit to prevent accidents or falls. Use timers or motion-activated lights to save energy and improve security.
Home Security: With the increase in visitors during Halloween, it's crucial to ensure your home security system is working correctly. If you don't have one, consider installing a security camera or an alarm system to deter potential mischief or vandalism.
Pet Safety: If you have pets, be mindful of their well-being during the spooky season. Loud noises from fireworks or overenthusiastic trick-or-treaters can stress animals. Keep your pets indoors in a safe and quiet area to reduce their anxiety.
Policy Review: Contact Hillis Adjustment Agency to review your home/businessowner's insurance policy. Make sure you understand what is covered and what isn't. This will give you peace of mind in case of any unforeseen events during the Halloween season.
By following these tips, you can enjoy the spooky season while protecting your valuable investment – your home. Remember, safety should always come first. If you ever encounter property damage or need assistance with insurance claims, don't hesitate to contact Hillis Adjustment Agency for expert guidance.
Wishing you a safe and delightful Halloween season!
