    Spring Safety

    Spring Into Saftey With These Simple Tips!

    Is your home ready for spring? It’s an exciting time of year, but it’s also a time to get things done.

    While spring cleaning is common, there are actually a few other things you should do to keep your home safe as the seasons’ change.
    These simple tips can help eliminate any worries your home is ready for spring weather.

    1. Start with the roof.
    The winter season can be tough on any roof. If you had a little snow than normal, that can do even more damage. As the weather begins to improve, check your roof for missing or broken shingles and have them replaced.
    2. Clean eaves troughs and spouts
    Clogged eavestroughs and spouts can lead to water damage. Have the eaves cleaned out and make sure the pouts are free of any debris and pointed in the right direction. Remember, you want the water to flow away from your home.
    3. Secure your home’s entrances
    Spring is a great time to re-evaluate your home security. Check all the entrances to your home and make sure they’re secure.
    Check your windows to make sure the screens are still intact and that the locks work well.
    Install outdoor security cameras and motion sensor lights near your doors, especially back entrances that aren’t as visible to the public.
    Swap out old garage door codes for new ones.
    Talk to your security consultant about alternate communication for your security system than a traditional phone line.
    4. Check ground level windows
    As the weather warms up and your family spends more time outside, you’ll want to make sure your yard is safe for kids and pets. Keep them out of window wells or crawl spaces (for example, the space underneath a porch) with a simple, sturdy covering.
    5. Check your fence for winter storm damage
    The winter elements can also be tough on fences. Whether your fence in wood or chain, look for gaps or bends and check the gates and locks to make sure they are still secure.

    One last tip – A well-maintained yard not only shows pride of ownership but is a good indicator to would-be thieves that someone is home and takes there security and safety seriously.

  • Winter Safety

    Winter Safety

    With the changing weather comes a host of to-do items around your home. Being aware of your surroundings will help keep you safe as the seasons change from fall to winter.
    You should always be thinking of fire safety around the house, but maybe a little more at this time of year, because we have more appliances to plug in. If you didn’t change the batteries in your smoke detector when you set your clocks back, do so! Make sure your family has a well-rehearsed escape plan as well.


    Do a quick check around the house to make sure there are no flammable substances near your furnace that have been left out from a summer project.
    Don’t put your space heater too close to your bed, curtains, or furniture. Shut them off when you’re not using them, and never leave them unattended. Do not use them to dry off wet clothing like mittens or hats.
    If you have a chimney, make sure it totally clear so your fire can breathe. Do a quick visual inspection of the bricks on the outside to see that it is in good condition. Keep matches, lighters and candles away from children and pets.
    Winter safety while doing your outside inspection, look for bad windowsills, loose shingles, and slanting concrete. Check all the outdoor light fixtures, and clean your gutters or eaves troughs.

  • Peace of Mind After Brutal Attack

    Peace of Mind After Brutal Attack

    Fresh off of being presented with a sixth consecutive Excellence in Community Service Award from the Honeywell Security Group, Security ONE continues giving back to the community with a Christmas surprise.

    Ontario Provincial Police responded to a call on Wigle St in Leamington back in June of 2018 to find 36- year old Haifa Gebrail with serious injuries after being assaulted in her home. A 44-year old man was arrested at the time and charged with attempted murder.

    “We just want her to go back to living a normal life,” says Sam Sleiman, of Leamington. Earlier this year, his niece, Haifa Gebrail, also of Leamington was brutally attacked and left for dead. “Haifa is a survivor, a thriver, and a fighter”, he said.

    Gebrail has spent the last six months recovering in hospital and has been released and is now living on her own again. “She suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and sometimes has trouble sleeping,” Sleiman said.

    In September of 2018, Security ONE Alarm Systems launched their 5th annual “Who Deserves To Win” contest and received over 200 nominations over two months. Haifa Gebrail was the overwhelming winner.

    Sales & Loyalty Manager, Corey Robertson says this year’s winner was something special. “What happened to Haifa is every person’s worst nightmare. It’s the kind of crime you only see on TV or in the movies”, he said. “We’ve seen the Leamington community rally around Haifa, and we couldn’t be prouder to help give her and her family the peace of mind, and protection, they deserve.”

    A short video of the big day, including the installation and candid interviews with the family, can be seen on Security ONE’s YouTube channel.

    In addition to arming doors and windows, Robertson says there one more critical piece to Gebrail’s security system. “We’ve outfitted Haifa with Personal Emergency Response Button with GPS and 2-way voice communication that will work anywhere in North America”, says Robertson. “She’ll be able to take this device with her anywhere she goes, knowing that help is only the push of a button away.”

    Christmas for the Gebrail family will be a lot more peaceful this year. “Old Haifa passed away”, a beaming Gebrail announced, “New Haifa is here to stay. I’m so thankful to this community and to Security ONE.”

  • Security ONE Saves House From Flood

    Security ONE Saves House From Flood

    Security ONE customer Ron Ricci of Leamington credits Security ONE with saving him from a potential 100% renovation of his basement.

    While on a 2-week European vacation with his wife, Ricci received a call from Security ONE notifying him that his Sump Pump alarm had gone off. “I called back to Canada to have my neighbor go over to make sure everything was alright”, Ricci told Security ONE.

    The neighbor reported that the discharge line for the sump pump was blocked and that water was backing up. Within 20 minutes a plumber was on scene as the water had spread to the boiler room  and was beginning to threaten the carpeting in the Entertainment Room and Bar area.

    Ricci says some of the capeting had to be replaced, but knew it could have much worse. “Had Security ONE not been so quick to respond, the entire basement not only would have been flooded, but would have sat for another week until we got back from Italy. Everything could have been ruined”.

    Ricci also credits his wonderful neighbor for coordinating the efforts with the plumber and restoration company. “I could have been faced with tens of thousands of dollars worth of renovations, so the monthly monitoring fee I pay has proven to be more than worth it”, Ricci said.

  • School Bus Safety

    School Bus Safety

    It’s the most wonderful time of the year… for parents! Back too school.

    It’s important that drivers remember that when a school bus has its flashing lights on, you must come to a stop. Once the lights have stopped flashing, you can proceed.

    Here are some safety tips to share with children to ensure safe travel.

    Getting to and on the school bus:
    1. Get to the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. Kids should never run after a school bus to try to catch it. If you miss the bus, kids should just head back home to get a ride.
    2. Kids should always stay on the sidewalk, well back from the road and should wait there until the bus has come to a full stop and the bus doors are opened.
    3. If the bus stop is across the street, remind kids to look to the left, then to the right, and to the left once more before crossing the street – just like drivers!
    4. Always use the handrail when getting on or off the bus.
