"Deck Your Home with Lots of Safety"

"Deck Your Home with Lots of Safety"

The holiday season has arrived and it's a great time for sharing with family and friends. The holiday season also serves as a time filled with candles, lights, Christmas trees, and lots of cooking. AmeriSpec® consistently delivers professional home inspections, so it's only right that we would want to help protect your clients' homes during the busy holiday season.

By following a few tips and inspecting items around the home, you and your clients can help create a safe and fun atmosphere:

Inspect Your Candles
• Candles should be placed where they will not be blown over or easily knocked down.
• Try to use battery powered candles instead.
Inspect Your Lights
• When you exit the room or go to sleep, remember to turn off any and all lights.
• Evaluate your string of lights and if you notice any imperfections, refrain from using them.
Inspect Your Christmas Tree
• Tree should be placed at least 3 feet away from any heat source.
• Keep your tree hydrated because dry trees are more likely to catch on fire.
Inspect Your Cooking
• Make sure someone is present at all times while food is cooking.
• Keep items that burn easily away from the stove (paper, plastic, dishwasher towels and more).
Help your clients deck their home with lots of safety this holiday season. For more tips and information, contact AmeriSpec today!
