With the falling leaves and cooler temperatures upon us, now is the time you’ll want to make sure your home is ready for the Winter season ahead. By just following a few maintenance tips, a little Fall effort could save you alot of Spring money!
Safety Devices: Check that all smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire extinguishers are in working order. Replace batteries as needed.
Faucets: Check for leaky faucets in your kitchen and bathrooms. Replace washers as necessary. Make sure the caulking seals around your sinks, tubs, and toilets will prevent any water leakage.
Windows & Doors: Seal any drafty doors and windows. Replace weatherstripping as needed.
Evaporative Cooler & Swimming Pool: Make sure these systems are winterized.
Heating System: Change filters and check for proper operation.
Siding & Paint: Check for cracks or holes in house siding or paint.
Gutters: Clean gutters and drain pipes of leaves. Drain gutters away from your house.
Chimney: Clean flues and check your fireplace damper. You might want to have a professional chimney sweeper tackle this messy job.
Roof: Check your roof skylights, vents, and chimneys for leaks.
So protect your investment by keeping up on your home maintenance this Fall!
