Are Your Stairs Safe?

Do you know where the most dangerous place in your home is? Would you be surprised if I said your stairs? Sadly, many are hurt every year from falling down stairs, and it doesn’t just happen to the very old and very young, even though it is more common for them.
Your stairs can be extra dangerous if they have carpet installed that is loose. In most cases, it is very difficult to get an old carpet to be firmly attached to the steps again, so if this is happening to you, you would be better off ripping it off altogether and come up with a better option.
The railing is a very important part of your stairs since it can give support when someone is about to fall, so you should ensure that it is firmly attached to the wall and that it doesn’t have cracks and splinters in it that can cause someone to flinch back.
