Secure your home before leaving on vacation.
If you are planning a vacation this summer, then the last thing that you want to worry about is your home being broken into. Fortunately, there are steps that you can take to keep your home safe in your absence. Here's how you can secure your home before leaving for vacation.
- Lock All Windows and Doors
While this seems obvious, many homeowners forget to check their windows and doors before leaving on a trip. To ensure that you are not offering criminals an easy point of entry, make sure that all your windows and doors are closed and locked. Additionally, make sure you secure other points of entry like garage and doggy doors.
- Have a Friend Check Up on Your Home
To ensure that your home isn't damaged during your absence, you should give your keys to a trusted family member or friend and ask them to check on your home every couple of days or so. This way, if a pipe begins to leak or a small fire breaks out, there's a better chance of stopping the damage from spreading.
- Install Outdoor Motion Sensor Lights
You should install motion sensor lights all around your home's property. These lights will switch on when someone gets too close to your home. The bright lights will deter any criminals lurking about and will lower your risk for a break in.
These are some of the things that you can do to deter burglars and vandals before you leave on vacation. Want another way to keep your home safe? Then make sure you have the right homeowners insurance in place. For assistance with all your home coverage needs,
