Keeping roof and runoff gutters clear of leaf litter is a good way to avoid potential water and mold damage to your home. Clear steps and walkways of fallen leaves regularly and exercise caution when walking on sidewalks covered in leaves - not just because of the slip hazard, but also because leaf buildup can obstruct your view of any defects or height differences in your path. Finally, when driving on roadways covered with wet leaves, allow ample stopping time and travel at safe speeds to avoid skidding or sliding.
