Fall Home Maintenance

As the leaves change and we embrace fall's cozy vibes, it's the perfect time to get your home ready for the colder months. A little maintenance now can save you from "scary" repairs later. Here are a few tips to keep your home warm and efficient this winter:
Inspect & Clean Gutters
Debris clogs your gutters, leading to water damage and leaks. Before winter, take time to clear them out and ensure that water can flow freely.
Check Heating System
There’s nothing worse than discovering your heat isn’t working when the cold hits! Schedule an inspection to make sure everything is running efficiently.
Seal Gaps
& Cracks
Inspect the seals around your windows and doors and apply caulk or weather stripping where needed to keep the warmth in and the cold out.
Test Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors
With increased heat use, it’s crucial to ensure your smoke / carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly. Replace batteries and test each unit to keep your family safe.
Inspect Roof
& Chimney
A damaged roof / chimney can lead to costly repairs if not addressed before winter. Look for loose or missing shingles and make sure your chimney is clear of obstructions and in good condition.
Winterize Faucets
& Sprinklers
Drain garden hoses, shut off exterior water supply, and insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing. For sprinkler systems, blow out any remaining water to avoid damage.
