Winter weather — snow, ice, freezing or flooding — can cause expensive damage to your home, although some of it may be preventable.

Additionally, it's worth insulating your water pipes if they are not already wrapped. Be sure to also disconnect your outdoor hose or sprinkler system and have those pipes blown out, Wilson said.

There are ways to try preventing this from happening. If you're able to remove snow from your roof, it's worth doing so. You can buy a roof rake at a hardware store for this purpose, Wilson said. Also be sure your gutters are clear of debris. And if there are trees with dead limbs that potentially could land on your roof, have them removed before snow or icy weather hits.

Make sure nothing is clogging the flue, and remove soot and debris, Hippo recommends. Also have a professional inspect your chimney for any cracks, loose bricks and missing mortar joints. If problems are discovered, have them repaired right away.While winter weather won't directly cause your furnace to fail, having it stop working during the bitter cold or a big storm could create an untenable situation.
