May 18, 2021

With the spring season in full swing, it’s time to check your home’s interior and exterior!

 

Interior:

  • Change HVAC air filters.
  • Clean and Inspect window screens for damage.
    – A little work now will keep unwanted pests outside your home.
  • Look for moisture in the basement and crawlspace
    – Leaks can turn into costly repairs.
  • Check your AC system.
  • Check your washing machine hoses for cracks and the dryer vents for excess lint build up that can cause a fire.
  • Inspect the air ducts for buildup of Mold, allergens, and debris.
  • Make sure your sump pump is in working order.

Exterior:

  • Inspect gutters for damage and debris.
    – Working gutters help water keep away from the home and foundation.
  • Trim trees and shrubs near the house.
    – This can prevent damage to the siding, house, and roof.
  • Inspect caulking around windows and doors, for damage or wear.
    – Replace if needed to increase energy efficiency.
  • Inspect wooden decks, handrails, windowsills, and stairs for rot.
  • Pressure wash, patios, decks, driveway, walkways, and outdoor furniture.
