Get ready for the winter storms

Here in Western St. Charles County we always know that behind every beautiful fall is a snowey cold winter.  Although it is Missouri so who knows when that will happen.  Snow always look so pretty and is fun to play in.  But it can also do some serious damage to our homes.  Some things we need to remember as the weather gets colder is to be very careful with those space heaters.  Do not leave them unattended,  do not have them on around children.  If knocked over or if they have anything laying on the they can cause a fire so easily.  And make sure to clean your chimney before starting a cozy fire.  over the summer birds will build nest in your chimney.  When these nest catch on fire at the very least it will cause major smoke damage to your house.  Always unhook your hose from the house.  If this is not done you will end up with busted pipes and water damage.  SERVPRO of Western O'Fallon/Wentzville will always be there to help you out but we would love to see you take percaustions to prevent you from needing us.
