The leaves are turning. Winter is right behind them.
Fall in the North Georgia Mountains is beautiful, but higher elevations see the first hard freezes early. If your second home sits empty for weeks at a time, now is the time to prepare.
🔹 Protect your pipes. Insulate exposed lines in crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls.
🔹 Disconnect outdoor hoses. Drain them and cover hose bibs.
🔹 Keep the heat on. Set the thermostat to 55°F or higher, even when no one is home.
🔹 Clear the gutters. Falling leaves lead to clogs, ice dams, and leaks.
🔹 Know your main water shutoff. Make sure it’s accessible and working.
🔹 Service your HVAC. Replace filters and schedule a heating check before the cold sets in.
The biggest winter risk is the problem no one sees until it’s too late. ON-DMAND Estate Stewardship keeps watch with scheduled oversight visits, so your mountain home is protected while you’re away.
