Safety and Prevention Tips

Help reduce the risk of damage by properly maintaining your home and taking steps to avoid some of the

common causes of loss.

Preventing FiresSmall Appliances

• Turn off and unplug all appliances after use.

• All appliances should have thermal protection devices (standard in new models).

Fireplaces

• Make sure flue is clean and well-maintained.

• Install chimney cap to prevent blockage caused by leaves, sticks and animals.

• Use licensed contractors to install wood stoves, other appliances or additions. This will ensure building codes and clearances are followed.

Electrical Outlets and Power Strips• Do not overload or connect one power strip

to another.• Replace immediately if there are any cracks

or damage.• Make sure the power strip does not exceed the

maximum voltage capacity for the outlet.

Heating Systems and Dryers• Have dryer and washer professionally inspected

every five years.• Clean out lint after every load of clothes.• Replace all plastic vents with metal vents.• Maintain your furnace with annual inspections.

Oil or Paint Rags• Place used rags in a metal can filled with water

and seal the can.• Immediately remove can from the dwelling until

it can be disposed of in accordance with local laws and regulations. For more information on house-hold hazardous waste disposal, contact your local environmental, health, or solid waste agency.

• Do not store unused products inside the home.

Avoiding Water DamageDishwasher• Check the gasket regularly and look underneath

the dishwasher for signs of leaking or water damage.

• Have your dishwasher inspected once a year.

All Appliance Hoses and Plumbing Fittings• Check hoses and fittings for breakage, crimping

or bending, which could lead to water damage.• Replace plastic and aluminum washing machine

hoses with copper or stainless steel.• If your refrigerator has an ice machine or water

dispenser, the hose from the wall should be made of braided copper.

Fire Protection Sprinklers, Water Dispensers and Water Heaters• Inspect these devices on a regular basis to make

sure they are in good working condition and do not show signs of deterioration or breakage.
