How to Prepare Your Home for Winter in the Lewis‑Clark Valley and Palouse

Winter in Lewiston, Clarkston, Pullman, Moscow, Colfax and Grangeville can be tough on homes. Preparing ahead of time can prevent costly water and mold damage.

Insulate Exposed Pipes
Protect pipes in crawlspaces, garages and exterior walls to reduce the risk of freezing and bursting.

Clean Gutters and Downspouts
Clogged gutters can cause ice dams and roof leaks.

Inspect Roof and Flashing
Replace missing or damaged shingles and repair flashing to prevent leaks.

Seal Windows and Doors
Caulk and weather‑strip to reduce drafts and moisture intrusion.

Check Crawlspaces and Basements
Look for standing water, mold, damaged insulation or signs of rodents.

Test Sump Pumps
Ensure they operate correctly before heavy rain or snowmelt.

Keep Your Home Heated
Do not set the thermostat too low when you are away. Keeping the temperature above 55°F reduces the risk of frozen pipes.

If winter weather still causes water or mold issues, call King Services at (208) 746-4192 for 24/7 emergency restoration.
