When you are traveling, whether you are going across town or thousands of miles across the country, you need to make sure you keep your home safe and secure.

Here are some tips for doing just that, courtesy of Atkinson Casey Agency serving Monroe, GA.

Maintenance

Keeping your home safe while you are traveling starts before your trip. Make sure you have maintained and checked everything to make it safe before traveling. That includes all appliances, plumbing, outdoor areas, and more. Hire professionals to do maintenance work as needed.

Safety features

You need to have various equipment that will keep your home safe from all sorts of disasters and other events. So for example, you should have adequate smoke alarms, fire alarms, and the like. Make sure everything works by testing it all out before your trip.

Security features

Have all the security features and devices in and around your home that you need. That includes cameras, adequate locks for doors and windows, and more.

Specific precautions

You should take certain precautions to make sure your home is safe before and during your trip. So for example you could have your lights on timers so that they will come on and go off at certain times of the day and night. Have lights strategically placed throughout various rooms in your house.
