Statistics show that some 32% of burglaries occur due to an unlocked door, and we suggest you show off your home security with a camera to deter thieves.  When timers are on lights, it can create the illusion that someone is in the home.  Electronics plugged in can short circuit and cause a hazard.  Unplugging non-essential appliance insures no hazards with those appliances due to any kind of electronic malfunction.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     Of course, adjusting the thermostate saves money, but <strong>note<\/strong> it is important <strong>not<\/strong> to shut off the thermostate completely to avoid mold growth. Shutting off the water can help prevent flooding and mold growth while you are away. Continuing yard maintenance appears to others that people are indeed home; and having the post office hold mail or having a relative or friend retrieve your mail looks like someone is in the home as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PuroCleanPropertyDamageExpert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PuroClean<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/clevelandtn.gov\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cleveland, Tennessee<\/a> wishes you safe and happy summer vacations! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/cleveland-tn-puroclean-property-damage-experts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/05\/AdobeStock_453767025-1-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Fire pit at beach location\" class=\"wp-image-18500\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cast iron fire pit campfire place at forest beach camping with bright burning flame at evening time against light bulb garland and trees.
